In a medium-sized saucepan, combine yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the mixture until it is well combined and smooth.
Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to the saucepan. If you prefer a spicier sauce, stir in the optional hot sauce.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, and cook for about 8-10 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
Transfer the Carolina BBQ Gold Sauce to an airtight container or mason jar and store it in the refrigerator. The sauce can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
Before serving, give the sauce a good stir. Use it as a condiment, glaze, or dipping sauce for your favorite BBQ dishes.
