South Carolina Barbecue Sauce
In parts of the Carolinas, barbecue sauce is yellow, not red, a byproduct of the region’s German heritage. You might think it is odd to serve a yellow sauce with your pulled pork. Until you bite down. The flavor profile is similar to conventional red barbecue sauce, sweet tart, but the base flavor is mustard, not ketchup, and the sweetness is cane sugar, not molasses.
