This is my go-to sauce for pork. It's a little bit Western North Carolina style (also known as Piedmont or Franklin style) and a little bit Kansas City style sauce. It's got ketchup, molasses, and honey like a KC-style sauce, but with a healthy dose of apple cider vinegar which is more in line with a WNC sauce.
I use honey in my sauce because I like the deeper flavor and it helps that I have a neighbor that has her own hives, so I can purchase it by walking about five minutes.
Also, it's got more heat than a KC sauce typically does. In the late summer, it gets an extra kick when the peppers come in. Last year the sauce got an extra something from Ghost Peppers! This year should be even hotter. We just put out our Carolina Reapers! The peppers are completely optional.
