This mustard sauce or something very similar has been around forever and you didn’t even know about it. It’s just been waiting patiently for you to let it make a little sexy time with your next pulled pork, hotdog or even steak. It’s been patient but believe me, it has still been champing at the bit. It’s been ready to frigging explode every time you haven’t let it have its way with the aforementioned proteins. But of course, you didn’t know about it, so how could you.

I feel like I may be slowly easing open the door to a vortex right now.

Let’s move on.

Often times this might have a knob of butter added and the whole thing warmed through and whisked to emulsify, but I find that it works just fine without it. So that’s how I roll.

CAROLINA MUSTARD SAUCE

(makes just under 2 cups)

¾ cup yellow mustard
¾ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper

• Combine all ingredients and mxi thoroughly until they form one beautiful liquid gold.
• Make something that it will like to be poured onto. Hotdogs are a bloody good starting point and the are also relatively easy to make.
• Store remainder in a sealed container in the fridge for bloody ages. Months at the very minimum.
