Momma's & Daddy's Barbecue Sauce 1 #10 can Catsup - (about 12 cups) 1 ts Louisiana Hot sauce 12 c Water 1 c Brown sugar 6 ts Celery salt 1 c Worcestershire sauce 1 Head garlic -- peeled and 6 tb Fresh lemon juice Crushed Zest from the lemons 6 ts Salt 3 tb Apple cider vinegar 2 ts Ground black pepper Combine ingredients, stirring to blend. Simmer for about an hour before using or canning to allow it to thicken. Charcoal broil or cook in a pit meat or chicken until done. Cover with sauce and keep warm until ready to serve. Is best if meat can marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Note: You can get pretty comparable results from a Weber grill and mesquite chips, as Bill's Barbecue was always smoked with mequite. Daddy always said that you had to use Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce -- other brands made the sauce taste funny. This recipe made my parents a fine living for many years before they retired, in the highly competitive world of Texas Barbecue. Rosilyn H. Overton |
