Luvya Emily, for finding this for me. Thanks.
I thought what I’m trying to get uses white vinegar, but I’ll try this with ACV first. A smaller test batch. I had it on ribs, too. This one also doesn’t use hot sauce of any kind. So maybe my assumptions were off and it’s the ACV and pepper flakes that achieve the right tang. Sort of like brewing your own hot sauce inside the bbq sauce.
