Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I cannot find a good recipe for BBQ sauce....

I'm not a fan of using liquid smoke or much Worcestershire for that matter... and don't care for a real sweat type BBQ sauce, nor one that has a real bitter or vinegary taste. Only store bought BBQ sauce I have found that I really like is the Chris & Pits.

But went down to the health food store yesterday and purchased some of the real/live cider vinegar and plan on trying this sauce this weekend.

One question I have for you guy's is do you cook/simmer yor BBQ sauce or is it a cold mix that you mix up and refrigerate, letting it sit to mix the flavors??? I've alway's cooked mine and made just enough for the one occasion, but your Ollie's BBQ sauce sounds like a cold mix and left to sit.

Mr. Coleman,

I'm make a big batch of bbq sauce today. Its a ketchup based, thin sauce that goes well with beef such as brisket and pulled pork as well.

I know you were looking for a vinegar based sauce but I'd love to send you a pint to try if you'll PM me your address.

Thanks!

The white sauce is used on chicken and It's not my cup of tea, but others like it.

Sweet Baby Ray's is good thinned with burboun. I use about 3/4cup sauce to 1/4 cup Wild Turkey.

Mr. Coleman, went and made up 12 pounds of BBQ chicken leg quarters last night using the Ollie's/Fosco's BBQ Sauce you've been talking about, came out fantastic!

I had to use the ingredient's I could find locally, but here is the recipe I used;

3/4 cup (Bragg, raw apple cider vinegar with the mother)
1/4 cup (London Pub, malt vinegar)
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
3/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp crushed/dried hot red peppers
1 tsp oriental hot mustard powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
approx. 3/4 cup catchup, maybe a little less

After mixing this stuff up, I wound up putting it in a near-empty 18 ounce bottle of Bulls Eye, brown sugar/hickory that probably only had a spoon full left in it... it was just the right size and filled the bottle back up nearly to the top... shook it up real good and let it set in the refrigerator overnight.

After washing and drying the chicken pieces, I brushed each piece with the sauce and placed in a big bowl putting a little more over the top, and let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours while getting the BBQ ready.

Used most of the rest of the sauce on the chicken while on the BBQ also having a couple big hickory chips on the charcoal fire for a little smoke flavor....

Chicken came out great!

Matt,
I just saw your post. A better idea would be for you to bring it down and let me cook some BBQ for us. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. My address is: 778 Jasmine Hill Road Greenville, AL 36037 but I'd rather you come down for a visit.

Phil, I have sorely missed Ollie's sauce and was almost delirious to get the recipe for Fosco's. It's so near Ollie's that I can't say for a certainty just what the difference would be. I'm delighted that you enjoyed it so much.
Warmest regards,
Mickey

I'm here to tell ya' that's good stuff. Whole Foods sells it. I'm going to store away a case of it.

Go to the "Bragg" web site, they have their book on the benefits of raw apple cider vinegar for sale there $9.95 if I remember right. Makes for some interesting reading, it's 6"x9" paperback book of about 120 pages.

We have a local health foods store that sells their entire product line...

But it's also made here in California!

As it happens, I was passing thru Llano last week about suppertime, so I stopped in at Cooper's for some beef brisket and smoked sausage. Very, very fine BBQ, and the sauce is delicious.

Thanks for the recommendation, Pat.

Yup. We were raised on heavy doses of vinegar. I'm convinced it's one of the reasons my family members live to be as old as they do.

Duce Staley (Carolina boy), said he drank a jar of vinegar or pickle juice before, during and after every football game. Cured what ailed him and kept him from dehydrating. In fact, I think the entire Eagles and Gamecocks football teams starting drinking it.

Anytime I can find products that are not unfiltered and raw I jump on them. Especially, honey and vinegar.
