I got this same recipe from Steven Raichlen's Sauce Bible. I make it without the allspice just for a little change up. I always use Plochman's yellow mustard. -
I made half a recipe to go with Recipe #279555.. Great with the pork. Served with jalapeno cheddar bread and KFC coleslaw. -
Mmmmmmm -- this is positively addictive! I will admit that because I am not a fan of overly-sweet, I used only 5 Tbsp brown sugar, and used 3/4 cup cider vinegar instead of just 1/2. That gave it just enough *tang* for my taste, and now this sauce is just about perfection on a spoon! Yummmmmmmmy! Noting another reviewer's difficulty getting the mustard to dissolve, I used a whisk to stir the sauce prior to adding the ketchup. Nice and smooth, no lumps. Thanks, MsSally! Your friend Lou is brilliant! -
This has a nice smoky flavour, but I had a real problem with the mustard. It just would not dissolve. I ended up having to strain the sauce after it cooled. I used an English yellow mustard, and maybe that was the problem. It might need American style yellow mustard, or maybe even mustard powder. Nice taste though. Quite sweet. Made for Photo Tag. Thanks MsSally!

<p>First, I'd like thank everyone who reviews my recipes. I can't thank each of you personally although I try. <br /><br />I Live in central Virginia, 5 miles from where I grew up, w/ my Husband of 17 years and my beautiful daughter. She is 10 and is the joy of my life. We waited for a long time to be blessed with a child and it is the best thing I've ever done. Be a mother. <br /><br />I love to cook. We eat very healthy, after a life altering experience at 31 I've been on a journey to be healthy and lose weight. I've lost 50 lbs and have kept most all of it off for the last 9 years. There are always fluxs, durring stressful times, but I've mananged to keep most of the weight off. My best advice to anyone trying to lose weight is to remember that it didn't get there overnight and it won't come off overnight. I've never said I was on a diet. It is a lifestyle.</p>
<p>When Zaar first changed to Food I took a short hiatus. I was going thru a very hard time in life and was completely unmotivated to do anything and thus gave up my hosting duties on Holiday Tag. But now with a new perspective I'm hoping to get back to cooking and tagging.</p>
