Mmmm, mmmm good

Mom's Barbeque Sauce

¼ cup white vinegar
½ cup water
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. prepared mustard (yellow)
½ tsp. ground black pepper
1½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper (to taste. I cut the cayenne in half)
1 thick slice of lemon
1 peeled sliced medium onion
¼ cup butter or margarine

½ cup catsup
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

Combine first 10 ingredients in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove lemon and add remaining 2 ingredients. Heat.

This was my mother's recipe. She would usually serve this on pulled beef, but it works with any kind of meat. She would cook a cheap cut of beef (pot, chuck, or shoulder roast) until it was well done and falling apart (in the oven, or all day in a crock pot). While the sauce was simmering, she would pull the meat apart with her fingers.

When the sauce was done, she would fold the shredded meat into the sauce pan of barbeque sauce and return it to the stove to heat it. She would then serve it on toasted sandwich buns (with dill pickle slices). Yum.
