I have made this sauce since 1980 (when my father married my stepmother, who was from north Georgia). It’s excellent when you want a vinegar forward sauce. I especially like it on pulled pork.
Excellent sauce! Tried with listed ingredients plus switching in japanese garlic for regular. Adding a touch of smoked paprika. Safflower oil instead of corn. Even rice vinegar instead of cider/red-wine. All versions turned out amazingly! Although using a lime in a pinch, did not work out so well. Great with fries, alitas and boneless chicken thighs.
