Barbecue Sauce, Rub and Marinade Recipes: Plus a Great Jerky Recipe

Since childhood, the author has been passionate about barbecue, particularly the sauce that comes with it. They have tried various sauces, from bland to recognizable, and often struggle to find the perfect recipe. Many of these recipes are considered family heirlooms and are passed down through generations. The author offers a wide range of sauces in their book, allowing readers to experiment with different ingredients and tastes. Some may cause disbelief, while others may bring tears to the eyes. If unable to find the perfect sauce, the author encourages experimentation and adding or subtracting ingredients as needed. One of the recipes included is a seven-year-old sauce that has gained a small following from New Mexico to Germany. The author has been approached by a commercial developer, but fears that the flavor of their sauce could be destroyed if bottled by a large conglomerate.
