Old Standby Vinegar Barbeque Sauce
Vinegar barbeque sauce is a regional favorite of the Carolinas. These barbeque sauces have vinegar as a common ingredient.
Western North Carolina distinguishes it’s entry by adding ketchup which gives it a sweeter flavor. Eastern North Carolina aficionados will ditch the ketchup for a more vinegary bite in their Q.
As you go south of the Carolinas the locals add mustard to their sauce which makes it even more unique. I like them all.
This sauce is a general type of vinegar based sauce and works well with smoked pork barbeque. Pour it over your pulled or chopped “Q” and heat or keep it as a “sauce on the side” condiment that lets your guest add just the right amount to their ribs or pulled pork.
