How to Make South Carolina Mustard Spiked Barbecue Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, hot sauce, and garlic powder until smooth.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the smoked paprika and black pepper.
  5. Let cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This sauce will deepen in flavor if stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  6. To use: Generously brush onto ribs or chicken during the last 30-45 minutes of cooking, basting frequently. For pork roasts, marinate overnight for maximum flavor before roasting.
