    I've tried so many Carolina BBQ sauce recipes, and this one is the closest to what I remember from my childhood. Thank you!

  • Sharon Yundt

    This is the real deal! Just like the BBQ I had in North Carolina. I reduced the cayenne a bit for my kids, and it was perfect.

  • Stefanie Hagenes

    So easy to make and tastes amazing. I let it sit for 3 days, and the flavor was incredible!

  • Fritz Collins

    Finally, a BBQ sauce that isn't loaded with sugar! The vinegar tang is exactly what I was looking for.
