EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA BBQ SAUCE



Eastern North Carolina BBQ Sauce image

I have tried a lot of recipes of Eastern North Carolina BBQ Sauce. This is the closest to what you will find in any of the BBQ Restaurants here in North Carolina. It is on the hot side, so you may wish to adjust the cayenne pepper and Tabasco™ sauce for milder flavor.

SLOW COOKER CAROLINA BBQ



Slow Cooker Carolina BBQ image

Miss the tarheel tradition of a pig pickin'? Then find yourself a crock pot, a big pork shoulder, some cider vinegar and get cooking! While ground and crushed red pepper will provide the basic heat - go the extra mile and find some Texas Pete (or Trappey's) pepper sauce to bring the taste of Carolina to your kitchen.

EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA BARBECUE SAUCE WITH A WEST COAST TWIST



Eastern North Carolina Barbecue Sauce with a West Coast Twist image

I'm not sure if using honey instead of sugar really qualifies as a 'West Coast twist,' but it does ensure that people from North Carolina can't attack me for this Eastern North Carolina-style barbecue sauce not being authentic. Anyway, while this isn't exactly what you might find in the Tar Heel State, it was fantastic on pulled pork.

EASTERN NORTH CAROLIN BBQ



Eastern North Carolin BBQ image

This is my honey's favorite sauce. We searched high and low for just the right sauce and this is the closest I have been able to find that lives up to Smithfield's famous bbq. I use it to cook pulled pork in the crock pot, and then to pour over the meat after. It can be a little spicy, so you have to be careful! The longer it...
