[@davy1972]

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@savageAMG]

I made this sauce for some pulled pork I took to work for a party and EVERYONE LOVED IT!

[@gambit1001]

Made this recipe quite a few times already. Its so versitile and adds a ton of flavor. Great for pulled pork, rotisserie chicken and ribs... lip smacking sweet heat with a zing!

[@albireo9]

Bill: Please provide the list of ingredients in your youtube notes so we don't have to work so hard. North-Carolina-inspired BBQ sauce: 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup ketchup 1 Tablespoon crushed red pepper 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds 1 teaspoon molasses 1 teaspoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

[@richj011]

Thank you. Lazy. That's the whole point. People make it an obstacle course sometimes

[@jaredmk4897]

I tryed this sunday night with a bbq pork. First time having it. I loved it.

[@dalefrye9361]

Made this twice now for my smoked pulled pork sandwiches. Good stuff.

[@robbabcock_]

Looks great!

[@CookingOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@OpinionMan100]

I'm a KC guy, but I live the look of North Carolina and Memphis BBQ.

[@jessicaray2990]

I used a recipe online and it was way too vinegary for my taste. I did 2 cups vinegar, 2 cups ketchup, a fourth a cup of water to dilute, 2 tbs mustard, and 1 tsp red pepper flakes. I didn't measure the salt, pepper, or brown sugar. I just added it to my liking. Great video!

[@billwestbs]

Nice! I appreciate ya Gary!

[@CookingOutdoors]

Thanks, Bill! Another great recipe!

[@youllthankmelater]

UK here. Worcestershire sauce. Pronounced: wuss-ster-sheer or if you're a true Brit, drop the "shire" and just say "wusster" sauce. Great video too mate. Thanks!!

Always enjoy your videos. Glad to see some new ones coming out. Never fails to make me hungry when I browsing your channel.

[@CookingOutdoors]

Thanks so much Matthew! Lots more coming :-)

[@Zeemis]

Just saw someone else post this in the comments, but this is the list of ingredients since this youtuber didn't include this in the description... - 1 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar - ½ Cup Ketchup - 1 Tbsp Crushed Red Pepper - ½ Tsp Black Pepper - 1 Tsp Kosher Salt - ½ Tsp Ground Mustard - ½ Tsp Celery Seed - 1 Tsp Dark Molasses - 1 Tsp Brown Sugar - 1 Tsp Worcestershire Sauce

[@matthewcallahan7231]

Great video. Here in NC we break it down even farther. Ketchup and molasses makes it western NC style. Nothing but vinegar, eastern NC style. People have been killed over this argument.

[@CookingOutdoors]

LOL! I leave it to my NC family to choose their favorite!

[@JeffMadre]

Yep, only vinegar, salt, brown sugar and red pepper flakes in mine here in eastern NC. It’s a little different the next county over. Lol

[@rick16323]

Matthew Callahan Matter of fact its not even called "pulled pork" in Eastern N. C. Its simply called "BBQ "

[@rick16323]

We don't even call it "pulled pork" in Eastern N. C. Just simply refer to it as "BBQ".

[@rrfields65]

AC vinegar , Wht. vinegar, * Jim Beam Whitelabel 7yo *, salt, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, black pepper ,garlic . True N.C. BBQ sauce from Aden N.C.

Yummy for my tummy

[@tomstestkitchen]

Great looking sauce, love Bill's book!

[@CookingOutdoors]

Yes, he did a great job on his book. Find myself using it a lot.

[@TheJohnnyMannion]

Great recipe! Loved the our takes at the end!

[@CookingOutdoors]

Thank you! Those outtakes always give me a good chuckle :-)

[@Doug6714]

Great video. I was looking for a vinegar sauce to mop a pork butt while it is smoking. This should fit the bill. Keep smoking and have a blessed Sunday

[@tomevans5458]

Been searching KZbin for a good vinegar based sauce. This one seems to have the most complex flavor profile (based on ingredients). Will try ASAP.

[@CookingOutdoors]

Hope you enjoy the recipe Tom!

[@jerrywilliams442]

Thanks Gary, really looking forward to making this for pulled pork, looks like it will be perfectly balanced....like your logo!

[@CookingOutdoors]

Thank you, Jerry!

[@bettyescookingchannel]

It looks like a great BBQ sauce recipe.

[@salvatorelipari227]

Thanks going to make this today

[@griesrt]

I made this with chicken. Was really good. Tart and spicy! This is low cal too

[@tomcat8662]

Texas guy here stumbling off the beef-beaten path to explore the world of pork and I was hoping to find the right sauce for a pork shoulder. This sauce was superb! Not too much molasses, perfect amount of heat, sweetness and vinegar. I disagree with some of the commenters here. The ketchup was key and gave it just the right amount of thickness. Everything about this sauce is perfect. I may even do a slight variant of this for brisket.

[@levittberto77]

Totally agree. I made this recipe also and I wouldn't go back to the simpler Eastern NC version. It's outstanding.

[@jaylancaster5419]

An important thing to point out is that there is no such thing as "Carolina" barbecue sauce. There are multiple regions, and sauce styles, in both NC & SC. "Carolina" style can mean thin vinegar & pepper, vinegar & pepper with tomato (yet still thin), mustard, or thick & sweet tomato sauce. What you made here is known as Piedmont or Lexington sauce in NC. Most Easterners call it "western" sauce (although there is a sauce style further west in the mountains). In SC it is called light-tomato vinegar sauce. I gave you a thumbs up.

[@CookingOutdoors]

Thank you for the information Jay. It is very helpful :-) Though my family is from N. Carolina ( 8 generations back ) I have no local knowledge and always appreciate additional info, especially when it comes to regional food variations.

[@DanWebster]

Nice

[@CookingOutdoors]

Thanks, Dan!

[@chuckgraham1695]

This sauce is OFF the CHAIN. Goes amazing with pork. I do recommend you allow it to cool in the fridge for at least a day and come together.

[@bradleyreynolds4720]

What brand of Sauce Pot are you using? I could really use something with that shape.

[@SmokingBears]

BBQ blueprint is a great book This sauce is a hit around here

[@CookingOutdoors]

Yes, I agree and this sauce will be used quite often at our house.

[@rick16323]

I'm an Eastern N. C. guy but I also cook lots of bbq. Definitely a keeper but let's get the name straight. Lol.

[@BarbecueTricks]

definitely a carolina thang.... if you're looking to "rehydrate" some pulled pork after reheating this sauce works great with a bit of orange juice.

[@CookingOutdoors]

Great tip!

[@mostbestestsaucewithpetepe9031]

Nice video

[@jeffth205]

Nice sauce, I like mine with a touch of honey and a bit of lime juice.Great video.

[@CookingOutdoors]

Thank you, Jeff! I’ll have to try you recipe soon ~ Gary

[@michaelsamar7140]

How long until it expires?

[@AM2PMReviews]

I like mine with half BBQ sauce and half ACV and some extra pepper and salt

[@davidjones8164]

Pull Pork I'd something that arrived after the Yankee Invasion. NC BBQ traditionally is CHOPPED BBQ. The vinegar Cause is much more simple than you relate. NO KETCHUP east of the North South line from Chapel Hill to SC brder. You need to eat some BBQ in Aden NC or Greenville,

[@wouterhiskemuller3090]

thanks Gary, I'm so glad that you can't pronounce the name of the sauce. I've been trying but can't get it out of my mouth correctly. Nice pan you've got there. I can't find it overhere.

[@CookingOutdoors]

Yea, I have been slaughtering "Worcestershire" all my life. I still get people trying to correct me too :-) The pans, previously called "Man Pans" are now called "Lloyd Pans" and you can find them here: lloydpanskitchenware.com Perhaps they ship overseas?

[@angelagallacher3948]

@@CookingOutdoors In the UK we simply call it Wooster sauce 😀

[@jaybailleaux630]

Have not made this yet but I'm familiar with the flavor profile. As much as I like molass , the plumb sauce is better. I'm a Texan . I would add chili powder and Tabasco smoked chipotle sauce to taste and maybe a tad more sugar. To each his own.

[@kenhetro6742]

Looks like more than a tsp. of worcestershire sauce to me!!

[@MarkZarecki]

It's pronounced Wooster Sure. I'm on a mission to help people who struggle with the pronunciation. Great recipe btw!

I-K-Now :-)

[@justinclark5032]

Thank you for this video! As a New Englander, it is pronounced “woo-sha-steer” sauce. Blame the English.

[@mainguysimon]

is it possible to switch ketchup with something not disgusting?

[@tammydear8057]

Beer

[@ludok1551]

Is it celery salt or celery seed? You said both.

[@CookingOutdoors]

Celery seed, sorry for the confusion.

[@ludok1551]

Cooking Outdoors got it, thanks!

[@tbcutter33]

worcestershire is pronounced ( wooster sheer ).

[@Forevertrue]

Or for our friends across the pond Woster sauce. That's all they say.

[@Bladesmobile]

Wuster-shur sauce actually

[@sirshmokes3672]

Is actually whatcha-muh-call-it sauce

[@metallic6121]

is it celery seed or salt. You mentioned seed first then said salt? And all peeps pronounce it different ways, but I have always pronounced it worse-ter-shire-sauce

[@CookingOutdoors]

It is Celery Seed, sorry for the confusion.

[@mattedwards4533]

In eastern N.C. any local judge will give you 10 to 20 years if you add catsup to your BBQ sauce!

[@CookingOutdoors]

Love to see your recipe! Post it here so I can give it a try, one of my favorite things to sample is BBQ sauce.

[@mattedwards4533]

@@CookingOutdoors ,My post was meant as a joke. Eastern N.C. and western N.C. have had a long going battle as to which had the best BBQ sauce. Eastern N.C. sauce is basically the same as the western sauce with the exception of the catsup. I personally like it both ways. I am in the eastern part of the state and it is hard to find a sauce with catsup here.

[@CookingOutdoors]

Matt, I wasn’t offended at all. I have heard from so many people about this recipe, some good - some bad :-) the offer still stands, I would love to see your version or anyone’s version. I seriously love trying them out. Best, Gary

[@swilkie]

I'm from Boston Ma. West of us in the city of Worcester. We pronounce it "Wistah". We pronounce Worcestershire Sauce like this - "WistahSheer Sauce".

[@vinfishin2582]

I'm irish but the original Worcestershire isn't too far from my country. I do always laugh at how Americans pronounce Worcester sauce 🤣. Also Ireland. Aint a yank alive that can say Ireland properly

[@mdallas]

wooster-shire sauce

[@scottm9010]

Is it celery seed or salt? The it was called both in the video

[@CookingOutdoors]

Celery Seed

[@gregf9462]

Very spicy recipe would cut back by 50 percent on red pepper

[@johnhopkinson4054]

Think your measurements are messed up,1 teaspoon of brown sugar looks exactly the same amount as half a teaspoon of black pepper ?

[@oren5230]

I like Carolina vinegar sauce. Tasty cole slaw. Git all crazy with it .

[@CookingOutdoors]

LOL! Right behind you my friend :-)

[@mattc825]

9 ingredients. That's about five or six too many, IMO. Just use vinegar, pepper flakes, salt, sugar. BBQ isn't complicated.

[@detroitluv82]

Didn't have all the ingredients so I just thinned out sweet baby Ray's with some vinegar.

[@CookingOutdoors]

That works :-)

[@stevezak3663]

wooster shire sauce

[@CookingOutdoors]

So I have been told a few hundred times :-)

[@Tubebrerry]

This is not North Carolina Vinegar Sauce. This is simply a version of what is known as Western or Central North Carolina style BBQ sauce. Eastern NC style BBQ sauce is entirely different and features only vinegar, salt and red pepper flakes, maybe black pepper too. So this video is misleading.

[@TingTingalingy]

They wasn't joking when they said y'all take your Carolina sauce seriously.

[@Americanpatriot602]

Correct,, there are a few more ingredients but to each their own! Adding catsup or any tomato based products to it makes it not! True NC style is thin as water and full of zesty, spicy flavor!

[@timothytobin1481]

The correct pronunciation for Worcestershire sauce "wuss-TA-shear" or "whoosTA-shire"

[@indiejones4683]

Nowhere near NC vinegar sauce... Ketchup??? Wtf

[@dalerichard8967]

You wright about that no where near i am from north carolina i hate people that don't live here telling us how are bbq sauce is.

It's pronounced "wooster-sheer." It was originally made in the city of Worcester in England (which is pronounced "wooster") in the county of Worcestershire.

In eastern North Carolina no molasses, not celery seasoning, and no ketchup. Just vinegar, salt, pepper, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and texas pete. Makes it perfect. Add a little water to dilute the vinegar just a bit. :)

[@ralree]

It's pronounced "Wooster sure"

(Worse sta shuh) sauce. I'm from the UK that's how you say it 😊

As soon as you added ketchup you ruined it. This is not Carolina style, but I'm sure it's a close second. :)

Wooster-sheer. Not war cest hers shire.

[@CookingOutdoors]

Yea, yea, yea .... heard it a million times :-) Someday I will get it right.

[@Hamman21]

Vinegar-based sauces need to sit a few days , using the same day will not give you the CAROLINA flavor

[@marcchesley3731]

This is misleading you can't label this a Carolina sauce, since I am from both North Carolina and South Carolina the sauce they use for barbecue is different. This is someone's own recipe who is passing it off as Carolina BBQ Sauce.

[@CookingOutdoors]

Not misleading .... did I not say this recipe is from Bill West? Did you not hear me say his is from and lives in South Carolina??????? This is his recipe and I followed it exactly. This recipe varies by zip code and I don't think anyone has the original. Enjoy this for what it is, a damn delicious BBQ sauce.

[@ParkerNightFly]

Just tried this recipe. Waaaay too much ketchup!

[@pkendall99]

no ketchup man.. you're wrong.

Not my recipe man ... there are dozens of variations as you should know.

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

The pronounceation doesn't matter. But it is pronounced Worster shire wors-ter shire Shire like where hobbits live. Only reason I know that is i watched a small documentary on how its made in the town of Worcester (wors-ter)
