How to Make Seminole Gold Barbecue Sauce

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup yellow mustard, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup apple cider vinegar, and ½ cup beer (any kind will work).
  2. Season generously with 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon white pepper, and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference).
  3. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
  4. Reduce heat to low and maintain a gentle simmer; avoid boiling to prevent scorching the sugar and peppers.
  5. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 teaspoon liquid smoke.
  7. Continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  8. Add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce to taste.
  9. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  10. Pour into an airtight jar and refrigerate overnight (or longer) to allow the flavors to meld. This sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
