"the Frugal Gourmet's" Southern Barbecue Sauce

"the Frugal Gourmet's" Southern Barbecue Sauce Recipe

This is the only barbecue sauce I use for "Pulled Pork" barbecue. From Jeff Smith's first cookbook, "The Frugal Gourmet", 1984 One recipe is enough for about 10 lbs. of meat. It keeps well in a jar in the fridge. If you don't have liquid smoke, try adding some smoked paprika.
