Carolina BBQ Sauce

Growing up, I was never a fan of Mustard. I only ate it at my parents’ insistence. What did happen is I tried a Carolina BBQ sauce on a pulled pork slider. It was like I had discovered fire or the wheel. The sauce was tangy because of the vinegar, and a bit spicy. That experience was enough to make me dig deeper. After researching the history and recipes for this Carolina BBQ sauce, I created Flaming Fiend.

Much to my surprise, many of my friends like me had never tried a mustard-based sauce. They like it now, and it’s always a hit among family and friends. What makes it unique is its heavy reliance on vinegar, particularly apple cider vinegar, which gives it a tangy and acidic flavor. It’s super-tangy and acidic with the natural spiciness of yellow mustard as well as added spices and flavors. This blend complements slow-cooked pork especially.

This sauce is not traditional, being mustard-based but it depends where you are from. We have added a few twists and turns that differentiate ours from others. One of the significant differences is the absence of additives, preservatives, or flavor enhancers. Using natural ingredients is also one of our claims to fame. If you read labels on store-bought sauces, what you see are ingredients, many of which you can’t pronounce. Our research says that these ingredients are easy to make, extend the shelf life, and make products cheaper.

Most people can enjoy Flaming Fiend, despite its slight heat.. If I do say so myself, this sauce is good. Care was taken to ensure seasonings in this sauce do not overpower the meat you’re using it on. This is a problem with many sauces you find in the market. The sauces are blended to taste a certain way, rather than complementing the food.

I like this sauce best on pork. Ribs and pulled pork are where I use this sauce the most. That’s not to say you can’t use it on other meats, we have, but it’s like a cold drink on a hot day.
