1 c. vinegar
Small amount of catsup

This simple recipe was used by Ann for many years as she worked for Sam's BBQ in Dallas. She was instrumental in helping her friend, Sam, get started in the BBQ business many years ago. She worked for him behind the cash register as well as cutting meat and prepare side dishes. Since her retirement, many Dallasites miss her cheerful presence at the local "eating joint". She brought much color and personality to Sam's BBQ.
