We replaced apple cider vinegar with white vinegar and cut back the relish a little but omg was it ever good ! Been trying these for years and this one has been the closest yet! Must be the bbq sauce ! Thanks for sharing! We now have a new staple here !

This recipe isn't bad, but the mustard ratio is super overpowering, I used some standard yellow deli mustard on this recipe and after it all melted it just tastes like relish and mustard mainly, which isn't to say it was bad just a lil off from Mac Sauce, I'd opt for a half tablespoon of mustard, and a lil more paprika
All in all , pretty close, not too bad
