How to Make Low Country Barbecue Sauce Mustard Based

Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped green bell pepper, and chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes.
Add the brown sugar, honey, and molasses. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugars are caramelized and the mixture is fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the yellow mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, water, salt, and black pepper. Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened and reduced by about one-fourth, approximately 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm over your favorite pulled pork, ribs, or chicken.
