Eastern NC BBQ Sauce is an apple cider vinegar based sauce. As a result, it’s tangy and spicy, but with the right mix, a little sweetness as well. I actually left my recipe at home, so this is really a rough draft from my memory, but we’ll know soon enough on Saturday!

- 3 Tablespoons Cayenne Pepper
- 1/4 Cup Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 1/2 Cups Light Brown Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Hot Pepper Sauce Preferably Texas Pete
- 1 Gallon Apple Cider Vinegar This is more than is needed, so just fill 'er up

Notes
I left my recipe at home, and had to rebuild it from memory – this one turned out much better! Ordinarily I use a cup of brown sugar, but that results in a spicier sauce – 2 cups was too sweet for me, so I backed it down to 1-1/2 cups – the perfect balance!
Totally making this one! Thanks!
