Vinegar mustard...sweet and mildly hot.

[jokensmoken]

I've used this sauce on pulled pork sammies (I do not mix it in the pulled pork, I add it as a condiment) and in my slaw for a long time.
It was shared with me years and years ago by my sisters grandmother-in-law...
A North Carolianian gal who could cook with the best...
BOB...I hope you're following me yet, this is the recipe I promised I'd share.
Ingredients
3/4 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup lite brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp hot sauce (personal preference, I use Texas Pete's)
3/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 TBS molasses
1 TBS mustard powder (fresh ground from mustard seeds is best)
1 TBS unsalted butter
1/4 cup fine minced onion ( I use yellow)
2 cloves finely minced garlic (about 2 tsp)
1 TBS neutral flavored cooking oil (I use vegetable)
1 tsp liquid smoke
Directions
Sautee the onion and garlic in the 1 TBS cooking oil until the onion is translucent and drain excess oil off (I put the sauteed mix a dish lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil)
Measure the liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, butter and hot sauce and set aside...
Add all remaining ingredients to a sauce pan (including sauteed onion and garlic) and simmer on med heat for 15 minutes...DO NOT BOIL...
Add the liquid smoke, butter Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce and simmer an additional 10 minutes...
Cool completely then put sauce in an airtight container and refrigerate over night...
I'd suggest experimenting a little with the liquid smoke and hot sauce quantities to match your personal preference and as always
Quality in = quality out...
I use all name brand ingredients...
Hope you enjoy this sauce as much as we do.

Walt.

Man that sounds good! I.like Mustard with depth of flavor.
BTW...If anybody wants more of a Punch in the Sinuses, Mix the Ground Mustard with an equal amount of Water and rest 10-30 minutes. The longer the Mustard rests the Hotter it gets. Mixing in with the Vinegar stops the Chemical reaction...JJ

Let.me know how you like it...

Will do the next time I get some pulled pork out! Only thing I'll likely skip on is the liquid smoke..don't got any!

How long would you say this would last in the fridge? I got ample space for squeeze bottles around. I got a bunch for a few bucks just for making and storing sauces actually.

 

[jokensmoken]

Never had it spoil...that being said it's never around long at my house...BUT, I made a batch two years ago for a friend on labor day...the following memorial day I smoked a couple butts at his place and he whipped out the last of the sauce and said "think this is still good"...
After a taste test he decided it was and used the last up...
So, that's about 8 months... I would never make that recommendation but I would say a few months in the fridge.

The recipe looks awesome... Thanks for sharing it.... Dave

How long does your bottle of French's Mustard, that get used occasionally, last?
The veggies would be the only possible thing to worry about and they are preserved in vinegar. Look at an Italian Salad Dressing, same basic ingredients and I have never seen one that went bad...JJ

Thanks chef...I was hoping you'd chime in.
That was my basic feeling but I'm no expert so wont say anything other than suggest it's safe for the same "couple months" as most other home made sauces are.

Measure the liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, butter and hot sauce and set aside...

I was wondering, is there a reason why these ingredients are set aside and not mixed in with the rest and all heated up together?
