Memphis Bribery BBQ Sauce

"As the story goes from PaPa: "My brother Ralph use to buy a pork shoulder and take it to an old guy named Leon to cook it. Leon would cook it in a pit surrounded by concrete blocks with grates on top. He'd lay the meat in on the grates. He had a real mop, and he would slather it all over the meats. Ralph repeatedly asked for the recipe and Leon would tell him that he wouldn't give it to him because then Ralph wouldn't come by to visit anymore. Ralph told him he would still come and gave him a bottle of whiskey" - Thus, Memphis Bribery BBQ Sauce. Papa insists that this sauce won't burn. He also says it isn't a thick sauce. He will usually dip the whole piece of meat - roast, chicken legs, whatever in the sauce and place on the grill."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My passions: faith, family, food, and anything family history related. Almost nothing I like more than to chase headstones of my dearly departed ancestors. I've been working on a family cookbook for almost 2 years. (Need to figure out how I want to actually print it.) Enjoy learning about how what I grew up eating relates to my ancestors from Croatia and Alsace primarily. Enjoy following and forming new traditions within the walls of my home. Some would say I lead a very boring and mundane life. I would say it's just what I ordered. I have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom - which is what I truly love. Feel it's the best calling anyone could ever have. I've truly been blessed!
