I live in Minnesota now, but spent six years in Charleston, S.C., where I developed an affinity for the glorious taste of barbecue—in particular, pulled pork with mustard-based sauce.
As such, I love this recipe for Carolina Mustard Barbecue Sauce. I also love it because it follows my three rules for great recipes: It is easy, it is impressive and it is flexible. Not sweet enough? Add more honey. Not mustardy enough? Add some mustard. Need more spice? Throw additional pepper in there.
