LEXINGTON STYLE BARBECUE SAUCE

Category: Sauces, Marinades, Spices, Glazes and Rubs

3 cups cider vinegar
3/4 cup tomato ketchup
6 tbsp light brown sugar
3 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp kosher salt
2-1/4 tsp finely ground white pepper and red Chile flakes
3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

In a medium bowl, whisk all the ingredients together and let sit for at least 10 minutes. The longer the sauce sits, the hotter it gets, as the vinegar brings out the heat of the chili flakes (so start with the amount of chili flakes called for and then add more to taste).

Pour the sauce in a vinegar style bottle so you can pour and store it easily. It will keep almost indefinitely in the refrigerator. Return to room temperature before using. Yields about 4 cups.
