Calories 289kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups mayonnaise (preferably Duke's)
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Juice of ½ a lemon
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a medium bowl or a large jar.
- Whisk until completely smooth.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Make it your own. More mayo mellows the tang; more vinegar or lemon sharpens it. Season to taste before serving.
- Adjust the consistency. For a thicker sauce, reduce the vinegar slightly. For a thinner drizzle, add a splash more.
- For a more traditional, sharper sauce, whisk in 1 to 2 teaspoons of prepared horseradish.
- Best as a finishing sauce. Spoon it on at the end rather than cooking it down, and use it as a dip alongside pulled pork, chicken, and ribs.
- Storage. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks; stir before using. Not suitable for freezing. Makes about 2½ cups.
