YaYa's BBQ Sauce

This BBQ Sauce recipe is a classic Southern vinegar-based sauce that combines red wine vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire, catsup, and spices for a bold, tangy flavor. It makes a large batch, perfect for family gatherings, cookouts, or storing for later use. The sauce requires no cooking, keeps indefinitely in the refrigerator, and works beautifully on pulled pork, chicken, and ribs.
