    If there is added sugar in ketchup, make your own with tomato sauce and paste.

    NC low lands can be made with just vinegar (ACV or white), salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.  
    How is this even a sauce?  =)

    When it comes to the yin and yang sweet heat salt and tang...just use good balanced sauce, but less of it.
    I use the version with sugar. I really like it on pork.  I got the receipe from amazingribs.com. The receipe says some purists use just vinegar and red pepper flakes. I think it would still be good on pork. I haven’t tried it but thought I’d offer it up.

    Shack Attack Sauce (from BBQ Brethren)

    An old VA BBQ sauce inspired by a guy named Shack.

    1 1/2 cups ACV
    1/4 cup water
    1/4 cup your favorite hot sauce
    1 Tbls paprika
    1 Tbls black pepper
    1 Tbls salt (I use FAR less)
    2 Tbls yellow mustard

    Mix well, let sit for at least 24 to 48 hours before serving for best results. Can use a blender if desired.

    50/50 Texas Pete and ACV
    Maybe more ACV than Pete. Hard to tell from watching the video of them pouring it on.

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

    I don't know but it'd take 50 steps over the course of a couple days.
