#1 Lexington #1 Dipping Sauce

1 quart ketchup
1 quart vinegar - (amber 4% acidity)
10 ounces sugar
8 ounces salt
4 ounces black pepper
4 ounces crushed red pepper
1 pinch red cayenne pepper - ground

Combine all ingredients into a 1.5 gallon stock pot along
with 1 gallon of water and bring to a boil, stirring
occasionally. Spoon the piping hot dip onto the prepared
meat just prior to serving. This is a very thin sauce,
but it is the same formula that has been used around here
for generations.

This recipe was posted a while back by the son-in-law of
the owner of Lexington #1, a highly regarded Q-joint.
There is a certain amount of vagueness about whether the
measurements are by weight or volume. I used weight for
the dry ingredients and am very happy with the results.

#2 Lexington Barbecue Dip

3/4 cup distilled white or cider vinegar
3/4 cup ketchup
3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes - crushed
salt and pepper - to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup water

Recipe by: Craig Claiborne Combine all ingredients in a
small sauce pan and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring,
until the sugar dissolves.

Remove from heat and let stand until cool. Spoon sauce
over Barbequed meats or poultry.

#3 Lexington Dipping Sauce #1

1/2 quart ketchup
1/2 quart vinegar (4%)
1/2 cup pepper
1/2 cup crushed red pepper
2 cups kosher salt
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 pinch cayenne

Made up a batch of Lexington #1 dipping sauce to go with my
pork butt tonight. Very delicious, indeed. I broke it down
in half and used the highly scientific method of buying 2
ounces of pepper, measuring it, and using that as the basis
for dried measurements.
Next time I'll reduce the salt and sugar a little bit
(1/8 to 1/4 cup each?)

Sauce was great.. Perfect compliment to pork. The idea of
using it hot is so obvious, but was a big revelation to me.
Keeps the meat nice and hot. Didn't get around to making slaw.
