Eastern North Carolina BBQ Sauce

This Carolina vinegar BBQ sauce is the closest to what you will find in any of the BBQ restaurants here in North Carolina. I have tried a lot of recipes for eastern North Carolina BBQ sauce. This is on the hot side, so you may wish to adjust the cayenne pepper and tabasco sauce for a milder flavor.
