Mustard-Molasses BBQ Sauce

This sweet mustard sauce is indicative of what you'd experience in a South Carolina rib joint.

Travel north to its sister state and chances are the bbq sauce will be clear and spicy or a delicious concoction born of the region's creative folk and their ancestors.

Ingredients

1 cup grainy brown-yellow mustard
1 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Note: Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Directions

Combine ingredients in a saucepan.

Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens.

Allow to cool to room temperature for flavors to blend.

Use as a bbq sauce for chicken, ribs, or whatever you like.
