Old Virginia "Shack" Sauce |
Here is a delicious version of an old VA BBQ sauce inspired by a 19th century VA
BBQ man named Shack. It has no sugar in it, so sweet sauce fans may want to stay
away.
1 1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup of your favorite hot sauce (I use Texas Pete)
1 Tablespoon (TBS) Paprika
1 TBS Black Pepper
1 TBS Kitchen Salt
2 TBS Yellow Mustard (French's)
Mix well, let sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 to 48 hours before serving for
best results. I blend it in my food processor, that's why it's about 16
ounces total.
By the way, I will be telling Shack's incredible story in my upcoming book about the history of Virginia barbecue. So, stay tuned!
