Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce Recipe
Here's a quick and easy recipe for classic South Carolina Gold barbecue sauce. For those who are only familiar with traditional red BBQ sauces, yellow mustard sauce can be jarring at first -- at least until that first flavorful bite.
Makes
3 cupsIngredients
- 2 cups prepared yellow mustard
- 2/3 cup cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle Tabasco sauce or your favorite hot sauce
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon mustard powder
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules or soup base crushed
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary leaves crushed with a pestle or coffee grinder
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Morton Coarse Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground finely ground black pepper
Method
- Prep. Mix everything together in a small saucepan.
- Cook. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes to pasteurize it.
- Serve. Pour into a clean jar and use as you would any BBQ sauce. Store remaining sauce in the fridge. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for months.
Notes
About the mustard. To be authentic, use yellow ballpark style mustard, not Dijon. Besides, it just doesn't taste right with Dijon.
About the tomato paste. You can substitute ketchup if you wish.About the chicken bouillon. What we are looking for here is a chicken concentrate so chicken stock won't do. But there are cubes of bouillon, jars of bouillon granules, jars of bouillon paste, and jars of chicken soup stock, all of which will do the job.
About the bouillon granules. If you wish to use bouillon cubes substitute 1 cube for 1 teaspoon.
About the salt. Remember, kosher salt is half the concentration of table salt so if you use table salt, use half as much. Click here to read more about salt and how it works.
