I know that the BBQ season is approaching....for me it never ends. Here is a new sauce for you to try if you are looking for something new. It is a West TN/Memphis style sauce. This recipe was given to me by Pastor James Stewart a few weeks before he passed away. He actually won some regional sauce contests and wanted to one day bottle it for sale, but sadly it never happened. 3 cups red wine vinegar 1 stick margarine 2 tablespoon liquid smoke 1 large bottle 32oz ketchup 3 tablespoon black pepper 3 bay leaves 2 tbs chili powder 2 large green bell peppers 2 large onions 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 1 tablespoon salt 2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon worchesterhire sauce Rough chop pepper and onion. Put into blender with one cup of the red wine vinegar. Blend smooth. Pour blender ingredients and remainder of the red wine vinegar into a large pot. Add remaining ingredients. Cook on low heat for 20-30 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Will keep in the fridge for months. You can adjust the salt, pepper or even add more sugar or red pepper to suit your taste.
So many folks never document their formulas. When they pass, only the memories remain. Thank you for sharing!
