TANGY PORK BARBECUE

Tangy Pork Barbecue image

A DEAR NEIGHBOR shared this zesty recipe with me in the late '50s - she'd found it in a Marine Officers' Wives cookbook. This barbecue has always been a great hit with my family. I usually serve it with French fries and coleslaw. -Carmine Walters, San Jose, California
