Carolina Gold Barbeque Sauce is inspired by some of the classic creations found in the midlands of South Carolina, where 18th century German immigrants brought with them distinctive, yellow mustard-style sauce, which they combined with the indigenous pork barbecue. True to barbeque sauce traditions, our Carolina Gold sauce carries an authentic Trader Joe's take. It offers the bright tang of yellow mustard, balanced by sweet and smoky molasses, the vibrancy of vinegar, tomato puree & Worcestershire, and a blend of spices, including a kick of cayenne pepper. It's a bit sweeter than the sauces from which it descends, which enhances its versatility. It is a great sauce ussed as a glaze for grilled meats toward the end of cooking, or as a sauce for marinating wings or dressing burgers and sandwiches. We also like to use it as a dipping sauce for chicken, vegetables or fries.
