I've always fancied visiting Memphis, but alas, I don't envisage it happening now that we've moved downunder. Still, whilst there are recipes like this around, I can sit back and imagine that I'm there, tucking into wonderful smokey barbecue and washing it down with sour mash.<br/>This sauce was rich, thick, sweet ( but not overly) and completely gorgeous. We've used this on chicken and on burgers so far, all with vigorous thumbs up!!<br/>Thanks Syd..we love this!!<br/>Made for PRMR.
