LEXINGTON-STYLE BBQ SAUCE



Lexington-Style Bbq Sauce image

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are adapted from Elizabeth Karmel's Web site, girlsatthegrill.com. The addition of ketchup in this slightly sweeter vinegar sauce distinguishes it from simpler Eastern North Carolina vinegar sauce. I prefer this sauce not only because I grew up with it-I like the added flavor and the pink color that the ketchup gives the sauce. To turn this sauce into an Eastern sauce, add 1 cup of water and eliminate the brown sugar and ketchup. This sauce is used to make North Carolina Style Pulled Pork and North Carolina Coleslaw . You will need to double this recipe to sauce both the meat and the slaw.

I have always loved Lexington BBQ sauce, and after much experimenting, I believe I have finally mastered the sweet tang of Lexington sauce! Because my diet is strictly pork-free, I served this sauce with pulled chicken breast and my parents LOVED IT!

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon white pepper
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together and let sit 10 minutes. Add to chopped barbecue when hot to season the meat and keep it from drying out.
  • Chef's note:.
  • This sauce keeps indefinitely in the refrigerator, but be forewarned that the longer it sits, the hotter it gets as the heat from the peppers leeches out into the sauce. If you have sauce that has sat for a long time and you don't like it too peppery, cut the sauce with another 2 cups of vinegar, 1/2 cup ketchup, and 1/4 cup dark brown sugar. Taste and adjust the salt if necessary.
