Loveless BBQ Sauce

Tom likes this recipe because it is flexible. "It's an all-purpose barbecue sauce," he says. "You can make a condensed, hot version for pork by doubling up on the peppers. Otherwise, in its milder form, you might use it on chicken. For the mustard-based sauce of central South Carolina, we simply reverse the amounts of mustard and ketchup."
