    SloMike hope this is what you are looking for.

    CAROLINA RED BARBECUE SAUCE


    This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

    Unlike sauces from Texas and Kansas City, this sauce from South

    Carolina's Piedmont area is thin and vinegary. Note that it is not

    cooked. To tone down the tartness, add more ketchup and brown sugar to

    taste.

    1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
    1/2 cup ketchup
    1 tablespoon (packed) brown sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
    Stir all ingredients in small bowl until sugar and salt dissolve. (Can

    be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

    Makes about 2 cups.
