Mustard Barbecue Sauce (MIDLANDS)
South Carolina mustard barbecue sauce can be traced to German settlers from the 18th century.
INGREDIENTS: 
4 cups yellow mustard (two 20-ounce bottles of French's mustard should do the trick)

½ cup apple cider vinegar 
8 tablespoons brown sugar 
½ cup tomato puree 
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon fresh cracked black pepper 
2 teaspoons salt 
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder

Heat all ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat and mix well. Cook until sauce just begins to thicken. Serve cool or warm. The sauce will last in the refrigerator for a long time. Makes about 6 cups.

3 cups apple cider vinegar 
1/4 cup red pepper flakes 
1/4 cup ground black pepper
