Carolina Mustard Barbecue Sauce

"A quick and easy honey mustard sauce by Steven Raichlen. After waiting paitiently for 14 hours for our pulled pork to be ready to eat, this is the only sauce for us that deserves to go onto the sandwiches! I find that this amount here is good for about 5-6 pulled pork sandwiches."

  1. This is a good base for a mustard sauce. I added worchestershire sauce and a couple of drop of hot sauce. I also prefer apple cider vinegar verses white vinegar but that's a personal opinion.
     
  2. I was looking for a good mustard based sauce for pulled pork. While this isn't the best I've ever had, it is really quick, easy and tasty. I too let it simmer 15 minutes and cool so it was thicker than after only 5 minutes. And, I too didn't have white vinegar, so I used apple cider vinegar. Even my husband approved, and he isn't hot on honey mustard.
     
  3. I thought I would give this sauce a try to change it up from a sweet tomato based sauce. It was YUMMY! I didn't have white vinegar so I used cider vinegar- the sauce is sweet with a little bite, and it mellowed more and more as I simmered it. I ended up simmering for about 15 minutes while I shredded the pork. Will definitely make this again!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hello, my name is Richard and I'm addicted to Tim Hortons coffee. I'm a computer animator who has always enjoyed cooking. I was cooking on the stove unsupervised as young as 10. I especially became passionate about it after my wife bought an electric wok for me for Christmas a couple years ago, after which she demanded that I do all the cooking from then on. I immediately became a Food Network junkie and started filling up a 6' bookshelf with cookbooks and have been constantly challenging myself and absorbing as much culinary info as my feeble brain can absorb. I've recently been bestowed with the honor of cooking every holiday turkey for the entire family, so I guess I must finally be doing something right! Either that or they just hate cooking. My most favorite Food Network chefs are "the Messiah" (Alton Brown), Tyler Florence, Michael Smith and Rob Rainford (of "Licence to Grill" - Canada's answer to Bobby Flay, minus the unbearable arrogance and recipes that I'd never bother to try). These guys have been a true inspiration and I've learned so incredibly much from them. Now I can say the same about many of the chefs here at 'Zaar!
