Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup chicken or beef stock or 1/2 cup cooking liquid from pork or beef roast
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar subtitute
  • 1 tablespoon molasses not blackstrap
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper more or less, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat and whisk to combine.
  • Bring liquid to a light boil, then immediately reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to reduce liquid by one-fourth, or until desired consistency is reached.
  • Taste for seasoning and add more salt, pepper, or cayenne as desired.
  • Store unused sauce in a mason jar or other tightly sealed container for up to one week.

Notes

This sauce is tangy, sweet, and a little spicy. It is perfect over pulled pork, grilled chicken, or anywhere you'd use a traditional bbq sauce.
Add additional sweetener, vinegar, or cayenne to taste, depending on your preferences.
We prefer to use the liquid leftover from cooking our low carb pulled pork in place of broth, but broth works just fine too!
