If you ever get a chance to visit North Carolina, one thing you may notice, they like their pulled pork. You will not find a red, sweet thick ketchup based sauce served with pulled pork. This vinegar sauce with very little sugar, is a little tart at first but it definitly grows on you with each bite. You can also serve this sauce with beef, lamb and chicken. For a little heat, add 1/4 teaspoon of of hot pepper flakes to the ingredients before cooking.

Ingredients (makes 2 1/2 cups)

2 cups cider vinegar

1/4 cup cold water

1/4 cup dark corn syrup

2 teaspoons kosher or sea salt

1 garlic clove (minced)

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Combine all the ingredients in a nonreactive saucepan. Over high heat bring to a boil, stirring well. Reduce heat, simmer the sauce uncovered, about 5 minutes, stirring occassionally. Let cool, adjust the seasonings to taste, adding more corn syrup, salt or cayenne. Can be stored up to 3 months, simply cool to room temperature, transfer to an airtight jar and refrigerate.

You can experiment making your own homemade recipe, the following recipes although popular in their regions are not for everyone. Try tweaking the ingredients by adjusting the sugar, spices, vinegar etc. until you can find a flavor that is just right for you.
