Description
This vibrant Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce is a classic Southern condiment, defined by its golden hue and sharp, tangy flavor. Combining premium yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar, this sauce offers a balanced glaze that perfectly complements smoked poultry, brisket, or beef ribs. It stands out from heavy, tomato-based sauces by providing a bold acidity that enhances the natural flavor of the meat, making it an essential companion for your next grilling session.
Ingredients
2 cups yellow mustard
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp halal/vegan Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Instructions
Combine the mustard, vinegar, and brown sugar in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to the saucepan.
Heat the sauce over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer.
Reduce heat to low and continue to whisk occasionally for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and serve or store in a sterilized jar.
Notes
Ensure you are using a halal-certified or vegan version of Worcestershire sauce to avoid anchovies or non-halal additives. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. This sauce pairs exceptionally well with grilled chicken or brisket.
