If you've ever wondered what makes South Carolina BBQ different, the answer is Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce — a bright, tangy mustard-based sauce that's a bold alternative to the tomato-heavy varieties most people know. This easy homemade BBQ sauce recipe comes together in just 15 minutes on the stovetop using simple pantry ingredients: yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire, garlic, cayenne, and Lakanto Date Sugar with Monk Fruit for a touch of sweetness without the sugar spike. It's the perfect finishing sauce for pulled pork, grilled chicken, or anything coming off the smoker this summer.
