Vinegar BBQ Sauce Recipe
It’s so easy to make a vinegar BBQ sauce. The base is as it says, vinegar, mixed with the traditional sweetness of sugar to give that all important sweet and sour barbeque flavor. In this recipe I've then added some Worecestershire sauce and Tabasco for that extra kick.
I have to say that I find this sauce a little thin, of course that's just my opinion but it has to be said that most vinegar sauces aren't that thick. That said it does add versatility because you can also use this sauce as a marinade or as a pre-cursor to my pulled pork rub as I've described below.
I like to add some spice to my sauce but it really is up to you and there's many variations on the vinegar sauce, if you prefer an oriental style then try my
alternative recipe.
Throw all the ingredients into a saucepan, warm over a gentle heat and stir until all the sugar has melted.
You will find that as you warm it up, the vinegar adds a pungent note into the air, don't worry, this is normal and as the sauce warms through this pungent smell will die down.
It will only take a matter of minutes to dissolve the sugar and then effectively your sauce is ready to use.
Here's the
pulled pork
recipe that I mentioned earlier, adding the sauce before the rub compliments the flavor and provides a sticky substrate for the rub to adhere to.
