Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Carolina BBQ Sauce Recipe
Once you have made the BBQ Pork Rub, it is time to make your barbecue sauce, as you will need some of the Pork Rub for this recipe. This sauce is adapted for the Pressure Cooker from the Neely’s recipe for the stove top. The sauce is a vinegar/acidic sauce and pairs with the BBQ Pork Rib Rub Recipe, for my Pressure Cooker BBQ Pork Spare Ribs.
It is very important to note that on its own, this sauce tastes too acidic and too vinegary, so, please don’t taste it and judge…….yet!!!! Once you pair it with my BBQ Pork Ribs, you will feel the love. It’s like Sonny without Cher (not the other way around), or a warm bath, without bubbles. Know what I mean?
Yes, I know, there are a lot of ingredients here, but, the good news, is that, if you make the whole recipe, you can freeze half for next time. That’s what I do!
After you remove your Pressure Cooker BBQ Pork Spare Ribs from the Pressure Cooker cooking pot, dump out the liquid and give the cooking pot a rinse. Add all Sauce ingredients to your Pressure Cooker cooking pot, give it a good whisk to combine and cook for just a few minutes. By the time your Ribs have caramelized, your Sauce will be hot and ready to go.
Look what a few minutes under pressure can do! It’s like a miracle. Give the sauce a good a good whisk, as you will see some separation.
Serve up your ribs and pour on the Sauce. If you want to prepare your sauce in the morning, try my Slow Cooker Carolina BBQ Pork Spare Ribs Sauce and it will be ready when you are.

Looks good until I got to the corn syrup. Can I use brown sugar instead?
On the Caroline BBQ sauce it says to add rub, what is rub. marlene
Hi,
Do you think substituting the water from the ribs would be a too intense flavor?
I have everything in the house to prepare for Sunday dinner. Can’t wait!
