Carolina Vinegar And Pepper Mop Bbq Sauce Recipes

EAST CAROLINA VINEGAR BBQ SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Prep. Pour all the ingredients into a jar and shake. Let it sit for at least 12 hours to allow the flavors to meld. A week is better.
• Use. You can use it as a mop when you cook, you can use it as a finishing sauce when you serve the meat, or both. In the Carolinas, it is usually used as both a mop and a finishing sauce.
• To use it as both a mop and finishing sauce, warm it, pour a few ounces (~89mL) into a cup and paint it on the meat with a basting brush once every hour or so while it is cooking. If you use it as a mop, the sauce in the cup can get contaminated with uncooked meat juices on the brush. That's why you don't want to dip the brush in the whole bottle. Discard contaminated mop and serve untouched sauce at the table.

BLACK PEPPER VINEGAR BBQ MOP SAUCE

Steps:

• Pulse the black peppercorns in a spice grinder until most of the blend is fine but there are still some coarser pieces.
• Add the black pepper to a saucepan with the cider vinegar, white vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes, salt and garlic. Bring to a slow simmer over medium-low heat and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes. Use immediately, or refrigerate in a nonreactive container for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Place the vinegar, sugar, ketchup, butter, hot pepper sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, mustard powder, salt, and pepper into a saucepan.
• Bring to a simmer over high heat, and then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer about 30 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from stove and pour into a heatproof bowl. Cover, and refrigerate the sauce for 2 days.
• Strain the sauce through a sieve to remove the red pepper flakes.
• Store the sauce in the refrigerator.
• Bring to room temperature before serving.
• To serve, slow cook your meat (in whichever method you prefer). When done pull the meat with a fork (it should be so well cooked, it just falls off). Add sauce and toss to coat completely. Enjoy!
