Sauce it up like they do it in the Tar Heel state. Brown sugar and cayenne are crucial for this sauce, so you'll be in for a sweet and spicy kick whether you throw this stuff on a pulled pork sandwich or use it for dipping.

    This is the kind of sauce I grew up with, not that tomato based stuff! Love it! Great recipe.
