White BBQ sauce ???


Now this one has an interesting back story. I was watching food network one night and along comes Bobby Flay's BBQ america. He was visiting some of the best BBQ joints in the south. Now, those that know me, knows I loves me some BBQ, so I watched. Some of the joints were cool and I picked up some cool tips, however, the big surprise came in the final segment. Bobby stopped in Alabama to investigate a report of a white BBQ sauce. My head tilts, and I go "Aroooooo?" just like Scooby Doo. "A white bbq sauce? This I GOTTA see!!". and see it, I did. Unfortunately, the recipe was not given...least not yet. A few days later, I was reading thru this big azz book called "the BBQ Bible", and lo and behold, there it was!! Talk about bein happy!! Anyhows, I tried it out, and had some of my friends try it out. It's been a BIG hit ever since!!

Ingredients:

1 cup mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
1 cup horseradish sauce
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
black pepper
cayenne pepper
garlic powder
cajun spice

Directions:

Add the mayo or Miracle Whip, horseradish sauce and apple cider vinegar into a bowl. Add more of each until it gets to the desired consistancy. Season to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use. Lather onto beef, pork or chicken during the last 10-20 mins on the grill.

addendum:

I was fortunate enough to be watching TV one night and Unwrapped was doing a feature on...white bbq sauce, straight from Big Bob Gibson's place. Here is the 'official' recipe for the white bbq sauce.

1/4 cup white distilled vinegar
1/4 lemon juice
1/4 cup apple juice
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish

Combine all ingredients into a bowl except for the seasonings. Mix until smooth. Even out to taste. Add seasonings to taste. Brush over chicken, beef, or pork during last 5-10 minutes of cooking. Set some aside in case extra is wanted.
