Mmmmmmm, DH just let me smell the ribs. He put the rub on them and then in the refrigerator for a while. They smelled soooo good.
 
Going to try that Vinegar sauce, sounds close to what I use now except no hot sauce.
 
Good going Bob. I like the idea of it having so much Cider Vinegar in it, with the vinegar being so good for us, healthwise and taste.
 
DH and I loved the ribs. The rub on them was very tasty and the sauce really made the dinner. It was so good and tangy.

There was quite a bit of this sauce left from last night's dinner. So I added some EVOO to it and it made a delicious salad dressing for tonight's dinner.

I made a batch of this & thought the same thing. I thought I might add just a little guar gum to thicken it, but ruined a batch of dressing last week so maybe not.

I was out of brown sugar so I used white with ~1 tsp molasses, I used some really good HOT red pepper flakes. I thought about using chipotle tabasco, but figured if tabasco was suggested I'd try it.

I forgot to add sugar & tried it after a couple minutes, thought it was good and then I remembered I didn't add sugar so added it....definitely changed the flavor but both were good.
 
Hi Clint, I have never used guar gum. Can you find it in the grocery store? Thanks for trying the recipe. I gather you used it as a salad dressing?

I got my guar gum @ Amazon about a year ago: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B079NS4Y9R/tvwb-20

I've only tried a few samples of this sauce by itself (when first shaken up, 20 minutes later, an hour later, 2 hours later, & just now after overnight in the fridge), seems to be a good alternative to my favorite mustard sauce.

I've only tried the guar gum a couple/few times, I totally gelled that dressing above so I might just try it half of this if I do at all.

That Carolina Vinegar sauce makes a great cole slaw too.

I made this Carolina sauce last night for some chicken I had wet brined during the day.

Very good flavor and when cooked, the sugars carmelize and make it a sweet heat with a pop of sour.

I used seasoned rice vinegar and omitted the salt as my chicken pieces were already in a 5% salt brine.

I’m thinking this aauce would be good on ribs too as a finishing sauce.
