Western North Carolina Vinegar Barbeque Sauce

(38)

This is a western Carolina BBQ sauce with vinegar and a splash of ketchup. I transfer some of the sauce to a plastic squeeze bottle for serving and keep the rest in a glass quart jar in the refrigerator. Be sure to let the sauce come to room temperature before serving (you can warm it in the microwave if you want).
