So my buddy and I are heading to Memphis in May to compete in several catagories. One of which is BBQ Sauce (Vinegar-based). Does anyone have a good recipe they would care to share?

    From Steven Raichlen:
    VINEGAR SAUCE
    2 cups cider vinegar
    1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons ketchup
    1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar, or more to taste
    5 teaspoons salt, or more to taste
    4 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes
    1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

    Combine the vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and white pepper with 1 1/3 cups of water in a nonreactive medium-size bowl and whisk until the sugar and salt dissolve. Taste for seasoning, adding more brown sugar and/or salt as necessary; the sauce should be piquant but not quite sour.

    here is one that Carolina Q gave me that went over like gangbusters and took about three minutes to make. even had a carolina guy loving it.....

    Here's one I like. Been making it for years. Typical Eastern NC style, very thin, can't even see it on the meat. 'Cuz it's mostly vinegar.

    1 ½ cups white vinegar
    1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
    1 ½ tbls sugar
    1 ½ tbls red pepper flakes
    1 ½ tbls bottled hot pepper sauce
    1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
    Salt and pepper to taste

    Hahaha! Guess I won't post it again then! :) Thanks for the credit, but I got that years ago from the owner's "manual" that came with my Weber. I rarely use anything else on pulled pork.

    Glad everyone liked it - especially the Carolina guy! :laugh:

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    it was awesome michael. everyone loved it. i thought i was making it for myself and maybe a couple other people for our homebrew club christmas party and pretty much everyone ended up using it save a couple who reached for the sweet baby rays.

    we were using it on pulled pork sandwiches. simple yet delicious.

    and the carolina guy was suprised to see a proper vinegar based sauce in mississippi. really made his day.
