I have alot of family in NC and this is a recipe I found on Allrecipe....it's pretty close to what I've tasted down there.
1 cup white vinegar 1 cup cider vinegar 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™), or to taste 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper Add all ingredients to list
Directions
Combine the white vinegar, cider vinegar, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper in a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 days before using so that the flavors will blend. Shake occasionally, and store for up to 2 months in the refrigerator.
