A friend gave me a sample of a vinegar based bbq sauce from Arkansas. He promised me more but it took longer than expected to arrive given that his source wasn’t the most reliable. In between the first sample and extra arriving, I searched out a recipe to make something similar.
I stumbled on this one at OregonLive.com and went to make it. Without realizing it, I mistakenly substituted apple cider vinegar for the apple cider that was in the original recipe. The sauce turned out great and here is the recipe. I tend to let this sit for a month or more after I make it with an occasional shake to keep it mixed up.
