    I made this quickly last night because I ran out of honey so I couldn't make honey mustard for the kids. I simply mixed mustard, garlic, acv and mustard and it tasted just liked the bottle stuff. I'll be trying it the complete way today since ill have time. but it was good nonetheless

    I am a native of South Carolina and have always enjoyed mustard barbecue sauce, as well as the red. I have had many people that I have met along the way ask me why we like mustard-based BBQ sauce. Some Like It, some do not. I really enjoy straight up mustard on a corn dog. Or a big, fat warm pretzel. Anyway the southern mustard-based sauces include other ingredients and the sharp mustard flavor is diluted. It is just one ingredient for an absolutely wonderful condiment.

    I use this sauce on chili dogs, I take cheddar dogs (higher quality butcher shop dogs) make a hot dog chili and then top with shredded cheddar and minced onion. I then slather the sauce on top of them. I get these requested for super bowl parties. they are little heartburn bombs, but they are delicious!!!

    Instead of straining my sauce, I like to blend it thoroughly. You keep the onions in there and still get a smooth sauce. Don't get me wrong, this is a really good sauce as it is. I just put my own twist on it.

    Give me mustard based sauce way above the favored tomato based here in North Florida. I'm just a tangy sorts gal. I never thought of making my own sauce. It goes on my eggs and fries besides smoked meats. Thank you for the recipe. I'll leave smoking meats to all the guys who love doing it so much.

    This sauce looks nice to me, but I recently tasted a sauce that to me seemed to be about 2 parts ketchup and 1 part ketchup, there was def some soy, and other tastes as well(maybe minced anchovies, try it before you dismiss it). The sauce that i am looking for tastes nothing like heinz 57 or any other commercial sauce that I have taste, not even cattlemans gold. I have even tried varying ratious of Kraft and Cattlemans Gold, but I cannot seem to find the perfect ballance. I have tasted several sauces in S. Georgia and S. Alab. that I really like, but of course, the makers would not divulge what the sausce was made from. I am in Dothan, al. and I can teach u how to cook the perfect whole hog that is around 160-180# dressed, but I cannot find the sauce that I desire. Help me, and I can come to you and teach u. West coasters consider BBQ to be "tri-tip", beef, go figure. I am absolutely sure that they have never had a whole hog, or even a couple of butts, that were done correctly. Tri-tip is fine, as long as one likes chewy bbq. Whole hog bbq is the abolutely best, melt in your mouth delicacy that has ever been cooked by men.

    Great channel. This sauce turned out superbly. I couldn't believe I cooked it myself. Now, my pork butt is in hour 4 of a 6-hour slow-cook, and I cannot wait to try this sauce. Thanks a million!

    I've watched several of these So. Carolina Gold sauce recipe videos today, and most of them add a little bit of chili powder, this one does not, hmm?? I guess there is no one authentic recipe for this, only a base and slight variances of ingredients.

    Geography correction. There is a North Carolina and South Carolina. Southern Carolina would be Southern North Carolina or Southern South Carolina. The sauce you are making is South Carolina BBQ sauce. not Southern Carolina BBQ sauce.

    There are so many variations of Carolina mustard sauce. I’ve made like 3 versions of it. I can give this one a shot. I’ve only been trying Carolina style sauces for about a year now. I like the simplicity compared to the sauces in my region.

    Made this today to put on some pulled pork made from a Boston butt and it was amazing! How long will it keep when refrigerated though? It’s in a sealing squeeze bottle.
