My dad got this recipe in the 1950’s from the Tennessee Extension Club. The original recipe that I have is a picnic menu and has the measurements to feed anywhere from 4 to 500. It even tells how many pickles and olives to serve for this amount o... More

Ingredients
  • Cider Vinegar 2 cups
  • Salt 4 Tbs.
  • Corn oil 1 cup
  • Tabasco ½ bottle
  • Worchestershire 3 Tbs
  • Garlic Powder ¼ tsp.

Directions
  1. Corn oil can be substituted for ½ pound butter but would need to be used soon. Mix all ingredients together and put in squirt or spray bottle.
  2. Spray/squirt on chicken or pork on the grill. I know the Tabasco sounds hot but it’s not, trust me! My dad always makes this for the 4th of July and everyone wants to know his secret… Sorry Dad, secret’s out!

LOL I wasn't even looking at recipes, but this one somehow just popped up! This is such an awesome, authentic recipe! I was going to use one very similar to this in my restaurant. Thanks Teresa, you rock!

I love this KISS recipe!!


So this more like a basting sauce, right? Sounds good!


Sounds really good thanks


Sounds great ... and I like the squirt bottle which is new to me. Now I don't have to put down my beer to spoon on the stuff. Ha.
Thanks for the great post.


OR, you can just melt a can of jelled cranberry sauce and mix it with a bottle of picante sauce...cook over low heat for a bit. It's awesome! I used hot picante and got it TOO hot so had to add brown sugar...still HOT so added some maple syrup. Easy and good.


Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.


Teresa you know me by now when it comes to BBQ sauce I am very picky. This recipe of your Dads has enough heat and a zippy flavor. I love how simple a recipe can be yet be so delicious and balanced.
I am adding this to my collection of southern greats.

Many thanks and a 5er! * * * * *


Nice Recipe, Thanks for letting the secret out!I am re-locating to Nashville Soon:) I Love Tennessee and Also this Recipe You got my 5 ;)


Liked this a lot; I used a 1/4 bottle of Shiner in the mix (couldn't add much more as it bubbles, heavily. I took the butter route you offered and it worked well as a moppin' sauce. Tangy, but Tennesee, for sure (except for the beer). I might need to hit Memphis, again... I had to cut my trip short last time- somethin' about damages from a bar fight. In my defense, my horse was the one who tried to walk her tab.


That sounds wonderfull for the Pit!! I cant wait to get the smoker out and smoke a bird with this !


Great recipe thanks


WONDERFUL CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE IT
