Carolina Red Barbecue Sauce

4.4

(42)

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Unlike sauces from Texas and Kansas City, this sauce from South Carolina's Piedmont area is thin and vinegary. Note that it is not cooked. To tone down the tartness, add more ketchup and brown sugar to taste.
