From : Sallie Krebs, Sat 06 Aug 95 04:00, Area: COOKING Every time Virginia M. Christie of Bloomington, Minnesota, simmers a batch of this tangy-sweet sauce, she remembers her Uncle Mal. He drove the hook-and-ladder truck for Firehouse No. 37 in Chicago and was known for this sauce. Virginia slathers it on ribs and chicken, and uses it in sloppy Joes and as a sauce for meatballs.
1. In a medium saucepan, stir together all ingredients. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and boil gently, uncovered, for about 20 minutes or till slightly thickened and reduced to about 2 cups.
2. Brush over chicken or ribs during the last 10 to 15 minutes of grilling. Or mix with cooked ground meat for sloppy Joes or serve with meatballs.
