I started looking for a vinegar based BBQ sauce recipe because I so much love the tang of the Dixie sauce at Martin’s BBQ. This is a fairly thin sauce, as you can see, so it’s more suited for mixing in with the meat than as a topping on a sandwich (although, honestly, I did both — because it’s good). My “Gooble-ing” as Kiddo says, brought me to this recipe.  I halved it and made a couple tweaks and it turned out pretty great!

Tangy BBQ sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 Tbsp. hot sauce (I used Louisiana)
• 1 Tbsp. red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1 tsp. kosher salt

Instructions

1. Bring all ingredients to a simmer in a saucepan and heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is completely dissolved. Cool and enjoy! It’s much tastier if it’s had the chance to chill in the fridge for a day or so

Enjoy!
