Ingredients:

1c. raw apple cider vinegar

2T butter

1T red chili flakes (more or less to taste - this makes it medium hot.)

1T coarse ground peppercorns

1t coarse ground mustard seed (or, 1/2t. fine ground mustard is fine but I used a mortar and pestle on whole yellow mustard seed)

1/2t garlic powder

1/2c. B&E's Trees Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup

Directions:

Add all ingredients except maple syrup to sauce pan and heat until butter is melted, whisking well to incorporate. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add maple syrup. Cool completely before using as a marinade.

Uses: works well as a marinade (1 hour up to 2 days depending on cut of meat), as a mop sauce during grilling or smoking, or added as a bbq sauce to pulled pork or chicken. Flavors pair well with the rich, smoky flavors of grilled or smoked beef, pork, or chicken legs and thighs
