Western South Carolina Barbecue Sauce Recipe

Not only can you split Carolina geographically into North and South, you can also split it up into regions by BBQ sauce. The Western South Carolina BBQ Sauce is more subtle in flavorings compared to the “in your face” heat of the Eastern North Carolina Vinegar Sauce.

So for the Western South recipe follow these steps and you’ll get approximately 2 cups worth (just short of a pint) and you’ll need to get the food processor out.

Ingredients:-

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 medium onion
• 2 medium garlic cloves
• 120 ml or ½ cup cider vinegar
• 120 ml or ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard
• 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 235 ml or 1 cup ketchup

Method:-

Blitz the onion and garlic in a food processor until it’s well minced then heat a medium saucepan gently with the oil and the fry off the onion and garlic until they’s gone soft and translucent in colour. Throw in the rest of the ingredients (apart from the ketchup), bring to the boil and then turn the heat down. Now add the ketchup and stir gently as it cools and thickens.
