Hab Mussy! Hot (But not too Hot!) Mustard BBQ Sauce

Charleston has always been a place for killer barbecue - we cook our meat "low and slow" and we use a variety of sauces. Some folks like mustard bases, some like vinegar, and others like tomato. In Charleston, we have it all. 

We've lovingly named our spicy BBQ sauce "Hab Mussy", Gullah for "Have Mercy." It greets you with that sweet-tangy mustard flavor and also brings on a delayed heat. Our users nicknamed this sauce "Sneaky Heat" and if you try it, you'll see why. 

 This recipe, the proud winner of 2010 & 2021 Scovie Awards, is guaranteed not to disappoint. 

Use either of Lillies’s of Charleston (Finger Leek-en) sauces for a Lowcountry spin on buffalo wings, a spicy dip or even salad dressing.
