This is pretty typical of the sauces in the BBQ joints in the piedmont area of NC. Its great on pulled pork sandwiches. -RP
1 qt cider vinegar, 6oz yellow mustard, 1/4 lb butter, 3/4 T salt, 1/2 T black pepper, 1/2 T cayenne pepper, Juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/2 t sugar,
32 oz catsup. Cook at a simmer for 10 minutes.

I love the NC style mustard sauce! We used to live in Virginia so there were quite a few places with that style and I miss it!
-
Erin, where did you live in Virginia???

I am also from Virginia.......Chesapeake ;D

AZRP's recipe would be more from SC than NC. I do not know of many NC joints serving a mustard butter sauce. Most western NC sauces are simply ketchup,cider vin, crushed red pepper, a lil sugar and salt&pepper. Eastern NC sauce would be just cider vin, crp and salt&pepper. We like to taste the meat more that the sauce. I'll put a couple of recipes together and post them shortly.

Bernie & TeamLass, we lived all over, Richmond, Spotsylvania and Virginia Beach.
Apex, you are correct on the regional sauces, but we used to go to a few places that had the sauces on the table (Double T's in Richmond) and I loved the mustard sauce, especially with my french fries! We used to drive from New England to Florida on school vacations and my dad loved BBQ so we stopped at a lot of joints along the way. I guess since they don't necessarily have their own style north of the Mason-Dixon line that they "borrow" others so we've had all sorts of "authentic" BBQ over the years. I may be partial but I think ours is the best :D

I gotta try mustard sauce on french fries. That sounds good. I've always been a malt vinegar douser over ketchup.
-
I'm usually vinegar on fries too, but this is amazing! Crap, now I'm hungry!

I do have to say that I have started making my own Carolina style BBQ sauces in the past year or so. I totally prefer these kind of sauces to a traditional thick sauce. We we made our first trip to the Outer Banks about five years ago(I'm from western NY) We hit a BBQ joint and I was wondering what the heck they had given us for BBQ sauce. I have since grown to LOVE the stuff! I think for pulled pork it's the ONLY way to go!

Okay APEX, still waiting anxiously for those recipes. ;)

I have to agree about the no mustard in North Carolina style sauces. I grew up in hte piedmont region of NC and never had a sauce with mustard in it unless we were in SC or VA. I agree with Apex on the variants of the NC sauce types. Pork just isn't the same with out it and a little slaw on your sandwich in my opinion!!!
