Ingredients: |
Ingredients: I bought a bottle of Surfine Bar B Q sauce. It was probably 24 ounces or more. It came in a round bottle and I got it at the Grocery Store in Valley Mills.
I added 2 cups of Ketchup also Surfine Brand.
1 lemon
1 stick of butter or margarine. I am sure it was margarine (the cheap stuff)
1/4 cup brown sugar.
1 can of beer

Directions: |
Directions: I would put the margarine, brown sugar and squeezed lemon into a pot big enough to hold the above.
I would heat the margarine, sugar and lemon juice until it was melted. Do not overcook or brown sugar will get hard.
Add the Bar B Q sauce.
Add the Ketchup
Add the Lemon peel
Add beer . Keep adding Beer till the sauce is still slightly thick but not so thin that it will not stick to the meat.
I think I added about 2 tablespoon of Worchestershire to it and about a teaspoon of Chilli powder. Most the time I left out the Chilli powder because it would make it to hot.
Simmer very slowly for about 30 minutes. Stirring often. The sauce will get thicker the longer you cook it. If it gets too thick add a little more Beer.
If it is too thin, add a little more Ketchup.
Taste it and if it needs a salt, add very little because everything these days has too much salt already in it.
When you start cooking it and it is too tart add another tablespoon of brown sugar.
As you can see I tasted it along the way until it tasted like I wanted it too.

Notes: This is added exactly as it was written by David's mother, Elizabeth Jez OBrien, . She ran a restaurant in Valley Mills, Texas and the recipe for her sauce was requested by a customer over 40 years after the restaurant had closed!
