Is it for tanginess, or is there another purpose? I tried a new barbecue sauce recipe last night - and it turned out that the recipe called for way too much vinegar. It still smells like the night before Easter in my house. Is there something else I can substitute and still get the same apparent flavor? Or, can I reduce it without compromising the sauce?

Answers:
Vinegar adds acidity to the sauce, which ultimately helps tenderize. What type of vinegar are you using? I would suggest an apple cider vinegar as it will add a little bit more flavor instead of the harshness of ordinary vinegar. Also, how much are you putting in? You shouldn't need more than a few tablespoons at the most.

Other Answers:
It moistness the meat so it wont be so tuff.

It adds a little tang and allows more sugar without being overly sweet.

Try this recipe. I developed it after years of trial and error.

Norm’s Sweet & Sour BBQ Sauce

1-40 Oz Bottle Catsup
1-Cup White Vinegar
1-Cup Water
2-Cups White Sugar
1-Cup Brown Sugar
4-Tsp Onion Salt
2-Tsp Celery Salt
1-Tsp Ground Cinnamon
1-Tsp Ground Cloves
1-Tsp Ground Allspice
1/4-Cup Liquid Smoke

Mix all together in saucepan and heat to boiling. Reduce heat & simmer 1 hour.

Yield about 7 cups.


It gives it a tang and it helps to tenderize the meat too. the acid in it helps to make the meat tender. Just cut the vinegar back to a couple tablespoons. It will not taste right if you don't put it in.
