Vinegar Sauce image

Editor's note: To read more about Raichlen and barbecue, go to our feature The Best Barbecue in the U.S.A. Peppery and piquant, this vinegar sauce is the preferred condiment of eastern North Carolina. In the western part of the state, the sauce becomes more tomatoey, while in southern parts of the Carolinas, mustard sauce reigns supreme.

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups cider vinegar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar, or more to taste
5 teaspoons salt, or more to taste
4 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and white pepper with 1 1/3 cups of water in a nonreactive medium-size bowl and whisk until the sugar and salt dissolve. Taste for seasoning, adding more brown sugar and/or salt as necessary; the sauce should be piquant but not quite sour.

This sauce is way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I think I'll try again with a different recipe.

This sauce is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a little bit of honey to sweeten it up.

I've never been a big fan of vinegar sauces, but this one is different. It's light and refreshing, with a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. I'll definitely be making this again.
