BBQ Sauce, Mustard, Southern South Carolina, Jeff's

In the southern part of South Carolina and the just North of Georgia, mustard is king. This is where I first tasted what instantly became my favorite set of BBQ sauces... MUSTARD! These barbecue sauces never contain tomato (OK, usually). Here, there's an extra kick thanks to the balsamic vinegar, which adds flavor and also gives this sauce its unique color.

In the southern part of South Carolina and the just North of Georgia, mustard is king. This is where I first tasted what instantly became my favorite set of BBQ sauces… MUSTARD! These barbecue sauces never contain tomato (OK, usually). Here, there’s an extra kick thanks to the balsamic vinegar, which adds flavor and also gives this sauce its unique color.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne

Directions

  1. Simmer mustard, balsamic vinegar, sugar, butter, cayenne, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce for 30 minutes. And in one simple step and one pot, you have a marvelous and versatile sauce that is great on pork but works on any other meat.
  2. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely to room temperature before placing it into an airtight container.
  3. Store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days after initial preparation. Rewarm before using.
