Walter Jetton was BBQ caterer to the LBJ Ranch. In 1965, he (along with
Arthur Whitman) published "Walter Jetton's LBJ Barbecue Cook Book." I have
mentioned it a couple of times in posts, and, since the book is long out of
print, I got several requests to post some of the recipes. Here are some
of my favorites, along with Jetton's comments and instructions...
This is the secret of the ages I am giving you here, and I would not be
surprised if wars have been fought over less. Use this as a plate or table
sauce with beef, chicken, pork or almost anything else. Don't cook things
in it.
(about 2 1/2 cups) Combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer
about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain.
(note - the celery pieces that you strain out from the sauce are among the
most delicious things I have ever tasted - really wonderful. In fact, I
sometimes made the sauce just to have some of the yummy celery. - Bruce)
