BRYANNA'S SOUTH CAROLINA GOLD BBQ SAUCE

   

I didn't know about this sauce until I read a mystery novel by Kathy Reichs, whose character resides both in South Carolina and Montreal. She mentioned bringing the precious golden mustard-based BBQ sauce to Montreal with her. That intrigued me. I found many recipes-- all different. This is the one I worked out for myself. I have nothing to compare it to, but everyone who tastes it goes crazy over it!

 

1 Tbs    roasted (Asian) sesame oil  

1/2 cup    minced onion  

1 jar (8 oz. or 250 mg)    smooth Dijon mustard  

3/4 cup    brown sugar  

3/4 cup    cider vinegar  

1/2 cup    veggie broth  

1 1/2 Tbs    soy sauce  

1 tsp    Louisiana Hot Sauce (or more to taste)  

1 tsp    liquid smoke  

1    bay leaf  

1/2 tsp    dried crumbled thyme  

   freshly-ground black pepper to taste  

  

Heat the sesame oil in a small skillet and sauté the onions, stirring frequently, over medium heat until softened.

 

Combine all the other ingredients except the bay leaf in a medium saucepan with a whisk. Stir n the onions and add the bay leaf. Bring to boil. Turn down and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the bay leaf. Pour into a jar, cover and refrigerate.
