¼cupCatsup
3tablespoonsLemon juice
2tablespoonsSalad oil

Directions

If you use peaches for this baste, try a dash of allspice to bring out the peach flavor. Try the baste first on chicken, but you may also like it on pork or lamb.

Puree fruits. Combine with remaining ingredients. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes. Makes about 1½ cups ** If you are using this over wood coals, the liquid smoke should not be necessary. If you are using this over Lazy-Q (Gas) then the addition of some liquid smoke will improve the flavor Posted to bbq-digest V5 #362 by "Carey W. Starzinger" <stars@...> on Jul 07, 1997
