Uncle Skwerl's Speckled Pig Paint (Grilling Sauce) image

An internet buddy of mine, aka Skwerl-X, took a special interest in two 'Zaar recipes which I had sent to him: Whipper's "Mustard Paint" and Dee514's "Italian Spice Blend". And so, from that, (slightly modified), we have this new barbecue sauce recipe, "Uncle Skwerl's Speckled Pig Paint". Well, as it turns out, this sauce is THE BOMB! You slather this stuff on your pork or chicken before it hits the grill and, WOW! So, thank you to those individual 'Zaarites and thank you Uncle Skwerl!*.*

UNCLE COOPER'S BARBECUE SAUCE



Uncle Cooper's Barbecue Sauce image

This barbecue sauce recipe has been passed down from generation to generation in my family for more than a hundred years. I remember as a small boy, in the days of the stationary, steam-engine driven, wheat thrasher. We would have a huge dinner for all the farmers who helped with the threashing. My family always served goat barbecue. A great treat to all who attended. This barbecue sauce goes great on baked beans, pasta and potato salads, and any kind of meat, and it will definitely add some zip to your Mexican dishes.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Chop the onions, garlic, and peppers before you start cooking to save time.
  • Brown the meat first: Browning the meat before adding the sauce helps to develop flavor and caramelize the sugars in the meat.

  • Simmer the sauce: Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings: As the sauce simmers, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or sugar to taste.
