This South Carolina-style sauce gets its sunny color and sharp tang from yellow mustard, balanced with brown sugar, vinegar, and a touch of cayenne. Simmering melds the flavors into a glossy glaze that works equally well brushed on pulled pork, chicken, or ribs during the last minutes of grilling.
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow mustard
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Method
-
In a 6-quart saucepan, whisk together the yellow mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and honey until smooth.
-
Add the butter, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, black pepper, and salt. Whisk to combine.
-
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
-
Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring every few minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and darkens in color.
-
Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature; the sauce will thicken further as it cools.
-
Transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate. Use as a glaze or dipping sauce for pulled pork, chicken, or ribs.
