EAST CAROLINA MOP SAUCE Makes about 2 cups

In North Carolina, barbecue sauces vary based on regional preferences. This East Carolina sauce is thin, tangy and vinegar-based. It is often used as a “mop sauce” for basting meats like pulled pork and chicken during cooking to keep them moist and flavorful. Its acidity balances the richness of the meat. While primarily a basting sauce, it also doubles as a condiment. It works as a great dressing for coleslaw for pulled pork sandwiches.

HOW TO PREP: Whisk together mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, honey, cayenne and Worcestershire in a small saucepan over no heat. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3 minutes, then let cool to room temperature for serving. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 2 cups apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
