This weekend The Dish Washer and I celebrated our at-home tailgating with his dad and a Boston butt we cooked in the crockpot. Certainly not as good as it is smoked (or from a professional BBQ joint, for that matter), but it was pretty good for the crockpot. One of my first trips home with him when we were dating, I remember trying this BBQ sauce that his mom makes. It is juicy and vinegary. As you can see, it's not really clear. Once you pour it over your meat, though, you can't see that there is a sauce. I guess that is where it gets the name. So good. Maybe it is the Carolina blood in me, but I prefer a tangy, vinegary BBQ sauce over a sweet BBQ sauce any day.
Clear BBQ Sauce
2 Tbsp. butter
1 onion, chopped
1 c. vinegar
3 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 c. water
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp. Tabasco sauce
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
In saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender; do not brown. Add remaining ingredients. Cook until blended.
*Very runny. Great for pouring over pulled pork or dipping.
