W. David Griggs was born and raised on Sweatman’s BBQ (mustard based) in Holly Hill, SC – ‘real BBQ’. He sent us this excellent variation on Judy's Mustard Based Sauce. Mr. Griggs increased the mustard and reduced the vinegar (replacing cider with white also) and replaced the brown sugar with milder honey as Judy suggested. His search for more of a savory sauce without too much twang, compliments the flavor of the meat, instead of covering it up.
- 1 jar (24 oz) prepared mustard; (favorite brand)
- 1/2 cup vinegar; white distilled
- 1/3 cup brown sugar; packed
- 3 tablespoon molasses; (or dark corn syrup)
- 2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon red pepper
- salt to taste

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer partially covered for 30 minutes. Mix sparingly with cooked BBQ meat until just coated.
Serve 'pulled pork' on steamed buns with slaw or as a BBQ plate with rice & hash, coleslaw, pickles, plain white bread and iced tea.
Yield: enough to smother 10-12 lbs pulled pork meat.

And remember, the mustard based BBQ has to be accompanied by hash over rice. |
