North Carolina Eastern-Style Barbecue Sauce

This vinegar-based basting sauce is widely used in North Carolina-style pit bbq, where the cavity of the pig is sloshed with sauce so the sauce seeps into the meat during smoking.

7 cups white vinegar
1 cup ginger ale
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons ground black pepper

Stir together all the ingredients until well blended.

Serve over pork barbecue.
Yield: 2 quarts
