Hi everyone.. I was thinking we could share some BBQ Sauce recepies. Since I don't have any of my own I figured I'd take some from an old Today's Woman Barbecue Cook Book dated 1954. The way my Mom tells the story, BBQ was just getting started back then. No one really knew much about it, but it quickly became a california craze. Everyone started eating outdoors, of all the crazy things... and even cooking outdoors.
So here they are.. Have fun with them and let me know if any of you make them.. I'll probably be making some of them myself!

Okay, in keeping with the "Ancient BBQ" theme, here's one from a slightly older source. This wuff's mom gave him her original "Searchlight Recipe Book". The original printing copyright is 1931. Wuff's book was re-issued in 1958; just one year after this wuffy was born! Wow!
As Booj mentioned, BBQ got more popular in the 50s. But since this book was printed in '31, there aren't nearly so many BBQ sauces in it. Vargr guesses its because many folks were already cooking over a wood-fired stove/oven every day anyway, so what was the big appeal?
In any event, this BBQ Sauce wasn't even included in the "Sauces" portion of the book. Instead, it was listed under the "Plate Dressing" section!
1930's BBQ Sauce (Searchlight Recipe Book)
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 C tomato catchup
2 C canned tomatoes
1 T butter
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 C Worcestershire sauce
1 T Sugar
1/2 C Vinegar
red pepper, black pepper, salt, mustard (powdered)
Strain tomatoes and add an equal amount water. Add remaining ingredients (except the spices). Cover. Simmer 10 minutes. Season to taste. Simmer 5 minutes. Thicken with flour, if desired. Cook until blended.
Wuff's note: This seems a pretty straight-forward, tomato-based sauce. Likely to be a bit on the tart and tomato-y side of the scale, compared to today's sauces made with molasses, brown sugar, honey, etc, unless you use a quality canned tomato with its own natural sweetness, or a somewhat sweeter catchup. Still, it seems like it would have a nice flavor from the reading the ingredient list. Wuff will definitely give it a whirl!
