BBQ sauce

[sidelock]

As a young man I had a Scout Master who grew up on a tobacco farm near Smithfield North Carolina. The scout troop had a cook out for parents every spring and we would cook pigs or chickens over a hardwood fire all night in the woods. BOY WAS IT GOOD. He had a recipe for a vinegar based (white) sauce that was the best I have ever had. I begged and begged him for the makings but he would not tell. He loved to hunt and went to the great hunting ground while I was in Korea. I still miss that guy to this day. Any of you southern boys know what it may have been?

Try this site, it's a white sauce and probably the traditional NC style.

Old Time Eastern North Carolina Barbecue Sauce Recipe

1/2 pound butter
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (white will work also)
3 tblsp lemon juice (approx. 1 lemon)
1 1/2 tblsp Worcestershire sauce (preferably Lea & Perrins)
1 tblsp honey
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper (fresh ground if you have it)

Once the butter is melted in a sauce pan, stir in all but the vinegar and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the vinegar, allow the sauce to cool.

But you still cook the food with the barbecue sauce on, right?

YELLOW BBQ Sauce is also popular in coastal NC/SC.

Most of the recipes are like the 2nd one, with the addition of 2-3 Tablespoons of dry mustard.
