Mustard Barbecue Sauce

Four generations of our family have enjoyed this style of barbecue sauce. Finding nothing resembling our beloved mustard-vinegar-based sauce readily available, we did the only logical thing… we made our own.

And then we started bringing it to parties, because half the joy of cooking is sharing. Our recipe has been taste-tested on everything from brisket to cantaloupe (true story), and folks can’t seem to get enough.

A savory, tangy alternative to the typical sugary barbecue sauces. This mustard- and vinegar-based sauce complements the the meat’s natural flavors. Mop sauces can overpower. With this finishing sauce, the flavors of the meat, smoke, sear and spices all come through. Drizzle it on beef, pork or chicken as a finishing touch.

Ingredients: Distilled vinegar, water, mustard, sugar, oil, spices and salt.

Instructions: Drizzle over meat after plating, use warmed or room temperature.
