Rodney Scott's Sauce image

Pitmaster Rodney Scott is famous for his whole-hog barbecue, which is why this recipe will make a whole gallon of his tangy, vinegar-based sauce. Not to worry-it can easily be scaled down for use in smaller scale recipes like these Spare Ribs. This recipe comes from the cookbook, Rodney Scott's World of BBQ, ($24.99, amazon.com) by Rodney Scott and Lolis Eric Elie.

Yield Makes 1 Gallon

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 gallon distilled white vinegar
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1/2 cup freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup cayenne pepper
1 1/4 tablespoons red pepper flakes
2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • In a small stockpot, warm vinegar over medium-high heat. When vinegar reaches 150°F on an instant-read thermometer, and just before it starts to simmer (after about 5 minutes), add lemon slices and continue to cook until lemon peels begin to soften and wilt, about 10 minutes more.
  • Whisk in black pepper, cayenne, pepper flakes, and sugar. Continue to cook over medium-high heat until sugar is completely dissolved and sauce reaches 190°, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before using. Once the lemon is removed, the sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 8 weeks.
