Memphis barbecue sauce
Bill, when I lived back in the Jackson, Tennessee are there was an old man there who had a bbq shack called Sam’s and everyone loved it. I bought bbq all the time there. I tried to get him to give me his sauce recipe but he wouldn’t. Now he has retired and its over. Do you have a good receipe for the Memphis style sauce with vinegar, tomato, black pepper, etc? I don’t compete but I do like a good sauce for my meat when I do cook out.
I would appreciate your help sir.
Thanks,
dan

I don’t have 100′s of recipes sitting around, but here’s one I like that may be considered close to a Memphis style…
One small to medium onion chopped fine
4 tbsp vinegar
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp chili powder
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 1/2 cups water
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup worcestershire sauce
Combine everything in a large saucepan, mixing well. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, several hours or until thick. Stir often making sure to scrape the sides.
Thanks,
Bill
