It actually looks like what I wanted except too much sugar. Someone else sent me a similar recipe without any sugar. I started with a cup of cider vinegar, a tsp. of salt, a tsp of brown sugar, a tsp cayenne pepper, and a tsp. of red pepper flakes. Mixed it up in a glass jar and let it sit in the sun for a couple of hours. Tasted it, and it wasn't even close. I added a little more salt -- big mistake; it was too salty. Added another tsp of cayenne and it was getting closer. I had some strong unsalted pork stock, so I added a little of that to tone down the vinegar and salt just a little, and a couple of drops of liquid smoke. Next a half a tsp of stale black pepper (fresh ground would be too assertive.) That's what it needed. The black pepper. DD tasted it and said it was pretty close to what they serve at Tate's (BBQ joint in AL) but too thin and clear. So I added some paprika and boiled it for about a minute to color it up a bit. Bingo. It's actually pretty good for dunking your bread in. I prefer a sweet and hot tomatoey sauce on the meat. Thanks again, Bob |

>a.. 1 lb. margarine >b.. 4 tsp. salt > c.. 3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce >d.. 3/4 c. vinegar >e.. 2 tsp. black pepper >f.. 1/2 lemon >g.. 2 tbsp. honey The sauce you are looking for is about what is served around middle tennessee also. Above is pretty close, but try this: 1/2 gal cider vinegar (Make sure you get the brown kind) 2-4 tbsp crushed red pepper 2 tbsp salt 1 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp black pepper 1 squeezed lemon 1 cup water 1/2 stick butter or lard bring to hard boil then simmer for 30min. adjust ingredients per taste...esp the red pepper. Best of luck! |

I don't really care for that style of sauce either, though I was brought up on it. These days, my favorite sauce is the new Chipotle Tabasco Sauce. To each his own, but I think it goes great with pulled pork. In what part of the country are you and your wife now? |

SE Minnesota. You wouldn't believe what passes for barbecue up here (tasteless steam-table roast beef with pretty good sauce on the side.) I prefer Texas style pit barbecue brisket, served with a sweet/hot/tomato sauce. My real favorite is pork shoulder prepared like Texas style beef brisket. I don't have a pit, but I have a homemade cold smoker. I can make some decent "mock" barbecue by cooking a big tough piece of meat in an electric roaster until it is tender and then finishing it in the smoker, but I hesitate to mention that for fear of offending the purists here. ;-) Best regards, Bob |
