Method
 

Instructions:
  1. 1. Gather Your Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients are measured and ready to go. This makes the mixing process much easier.
  2. 2. Combine Mayonnaise and Vinegar: In a mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of mayonnaise and 1 cup of white vinegar. Stir them together until well blended.
  3. 3. Add the Sweetness: Pour in the ½ cup of apple juice and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. 4. Spice It Up: Add the 2 tsp of prepared horseradish, 2 tsp of ground black pepper, 2 tsp of fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp of salt, and ½ tsp of cayenne pepper. Whisk everything together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  5. 5. Taste and Adjust: Give your sauce a taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more vinegar for tanginess, more horseradish for heat, or more apple juice for sweetness.
  6. 6. Chill Out: Transfer the sauce to your storage container and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • This sauce is perfect for grilled chicken, but it also works well with pork and even as a salad dressing.
  • For a smokier flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the mix.
  • Alabama White Sauce can last in the refrigerator for up to a week, so make a double batch for those midweek meals.
