Directions

Kathy Starr, Soul of Southern Cooking makes 1 gallon

Combine first 6 ingredients and boil 25 min. Add remaining ingredients and simmer 2½ hr or until thick. [M's note - I would not use this sauce; it might okay without the sugar and cane syrup; it might be better with about ½ c of cumin and a couple of T of garlic powder.] Posted by Michael Loo to the Fidonet National Cooking echo 8-98 Posted to MM-Recipes Digest by "Rfm" <Robert-Miles@...> on Aug 31, 98, converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
