This is an awesome sauce! I do omit the red pepper and use white vinegar instead of water. It’s definitely not a sweet sauce to me, the sugar just compliments the vinegar and the ketchup doesn’t make it tomatoey, just gives it some thickness, in my opinion. Thanks again for the awesome sauce!

I think the issue here is that the 1 star reviewer doesn’t know what Eastern NC style BBQ sauce is, or how it is used (as @KathrynTT points out). As someone who has been eating this for many years, I tried this recipe and it is spot-on!

In reply to Sue sobke. We also make our BBQ sauce without sugar and very similar. The primary difference is we rub our ribs with Dijon mustard (both sides), sprinkle heavily with granulated garlic (both sides) for a nice ring (or time permitting, use finely chopped garlic added to dijon instead of granulated garlic)then store overnight in refrigerator in large 2 gallon ziploc bags) to marinate. When adding to grill (or rack in oven) we cook over moist heat (large pan of water to help tenderize and cook evenly). An hour b4 cooking complete we mop with unsweeted NC BBQ sauce every 15 minutes until done and bones start to pull from rib meat.
