©2002, The Naked Whiz
This recipe was given to me by Vi Roberts, a great guy who knew how to cook brisket! I have, of course, twiddled it a little bit and here is the result. A sauce with flavor, character, texture and some kick!
Ingredients:
- 24 ounces of tomato sauce
- 18 ounces of water
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp salt
- 1 Tsp dried basil
- 1 Tbsp FRESHLY ground black pepper, ground fairly coarse
- 2 large cloves crushed garlic
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 4 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (see notes)
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- 1 pinch ground cinammon
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp mustard (cheap, yellow)
- Hot sauce or cayenne pepper to taste
Preparation Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer at least 30 minutes.
Special Instructions:
You may wish to leave out the vinegar and taste the sauce first. Add the vinegar as desired up to the indicated amount.
