North Carolina Barbecue Sauce

This sauce is one that I have been searching for a good vinegar based barbecue sauce for a long time. I found one on About.com that was outstanding and I have used ever since. I use this on everything from meatloaf to burgers to ribs. And at only 1 point for 1/8 of a cup it is low in points for the amount of flavor that it provides. Also, this uses mostly things that you would already find in your kitchen so there is generally very little if any shopping needed for this recipe.

This is a thinner sauce so beware it may not create a thick coat on whatever you are cooking but it will still provide a great flavor. I am posting this because there are a few recipes coming up that use this sauce and this way you have this ahead of time.
