Roxy's S.C mustard sauce

roxy · Posted: Mon Sep 26 05 12:28 am Post subject: Roxy's S.C mustard sauce

My favorite sauce to add to pulled pork is a mustard vinager sauce. I add just a bit, maybe 1/2 a cup, to moisten the meat and add a bit of flavour after its been pulled.
When making a Sammich I add some more of the sauce with a shake or two of the rub I used to season the butt. To my taste this sauce is a perfect match with cole slaw and I dont be eatin me no pulled pork sammich without the slaw.
I dont hear any one mention using this sauce but I find it is the tastiest addition to pulled pork. From what I've read most of ya'll are stuck in north carolina, now theres nothing wrong with vinegar or piedmont sauce, I just find this sauce has more flavour and makes better pairing with pork butt.

Mustard Vinegar Sauce

1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup Yellow mustard
1/4 cup onion finely minced
2 cloves garlic pureed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Combine ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

For a smoother sauce, blend on high for a few minutes.

Will have to give it a try...........we have been finding out that on pulled pork sandwiches that we love a carolina Mustard Sauce sold by Sticky Fingers...............would much rather make sauce than buy it.........and the mustard/vinegar combo is a good one.

Sounds good. Here's my version:
MUSTARD SAUCE
o 1 C Cider Vinegar
o � C Yellow Mustard
o � tsp Garlic Powder
o 2 TB Mowatt�s Fire Eater Hot Sauce (A good locally-made mustard-based hot sauce.)
o 2 TB Maple Sugar

Heat to blend and simmer until nice and thick. The consistency is right when it coats the back of the spoon. Confirm by cooling.

MMMMMMMMM.................vinegar and pork (along with a few other seasonings). I honestly believe those two ingredients were ordained by God and were meant to be together.

Interesting. I do a similar version. Same spices, only I start with equal parts yellow mustard and AC vinegar

I came up with the recipe by reading every SC mustard sauce recipe I could find and then making my own. The first one I made I used equal AC and mustard but I find more vinegar gives it a bit of a kick.

Sure is good on pulled pork.

Roxy, that is almost the same recipe I use to make mine. I agree, the mustard sauce goes very well with pulled pork. I have also basted some ribs with that sauce and they come out nice as well.

I don't mind the mustard sauces. Coming from eastern Tennessee where red sauce rules it was quite a shock at first. But after getting past Maurice's nasty stuff and trying Hite's, Shealy's, Little Pigs (all fine midlands SC BBQ btw), I grew to appreciate the difference.

Then I moved on to my all time favorite, vinegar and pepper, at Schoolhouse, Duke's, and Mr. Brown's in the Pee Dee region (once I got a job out of college and got to travel this great state of Q!)

Now I like it all and have the body to prove it! Laughing

I too am from East Tennessee. I grew up on good Q using a Tn good tomato based sauce with a good kick to it. I beleived good Q had to bring a sweat to the forhead by at least the second bit. Then was inducted to the NC sauces Now my favorite is the true Eastern Carolina vinegar sauce. Like a kick but now the tart taste is what I crave. I like the mustard or the tomato vinegar or the true vinegar base only. Like it all except for the ickey sweet stuff you find in Fl

Interesting, I have been using Sticky Fingers SC Sauce just like Mding. I decided I wanted to start making my own & was searching Smoke Ring for help....and here it is.

I grew up in NC but my mom is from SC and the parents lived in SC low country after getting rid of us kids. Despite the excellent NC sauces I agree, slaw and mustard Q sauce is the way to go with pork or chicken, not bad on brisket either, although I like a little tomatoe with the beef.

I have been in Georgia since 1973. I am guessing that between roxy, Sticky Fingers and I the peach state will convert pretty soon.

I use my mustard sauce to freshen up frozen barbecue butt while reheating.

� cup yellow mustard
1 cups apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon Wine-Pepper sauce
� cup light brown sugar
� teaspoon Celery salt
1 tablespoon honey

Note: Mix and use. No cooking needed. Gets better with age.

Well i got to tell ya i was looking through the recipes tonite and thought said to myself.... "self ya haven`t tried a mustard sauce in a while, besides might as well make some different sauces for the people to try".

Simple to make yes but tastes complex.
Good stuff!!!

Thanks Jeff, I sure do like it with pulled pork. I know most folks prefer some form of red sauce but I like this one better.

Ya got to try it on a sammich with a good helping of slaw..!!

Roxy, I will make a batch and give it a good try. Have tried adding honey?
I will make it exactly per your recipe first but honey seems a natural in mustard sauce.

Made a batch of Roxy's sauce posted above. Darn good stuff.
i will meld it with my yellow sauce which is very close and post those results next time I make a batch.
If you are looking for a yellow sauce, this is a good one for sure.

Thanks Roxy.

p.s. What would we use to thicken the sauce? A little corn starch?
