Griffin’s Old Virginia Red Barbecue Sauce

This stuff is phenomenal definitely going to be a toss up on PP between it and mustard sauce.. Made up a batch of this and shack attack a couple a days ago for the 3 small butts I did yesterday.. Everyone loved the Griffin sauce..

The vinegar hits you first than the brown sugar takes off the edge.. Just enough sweet from the brown sugar but not too sweet seeings it does not have honey or molasses.

Thanks again

YW, a very good description of the sauce's flavor, too! To me, the flavor has a character that you can't buy in a bottle nowadays.

Celery seed and celery have slightly different flavors and celery takes a while to cook, so I have no idea on that one.

As far as garlic, I'd suggest 1 or 2 at most finely chopped cloves of garlic.

Thanks Boshizzle. I will use the fresh garlic. Will experiment with the celery. Since I'm a garlic lover I might add just a smidgen more to test.
 
Just made a batch of this. Used Heinz unfiltered raw acv. This is one of the best pork/vinegar based sauce I've ever had. thx.
 
I like mustard on dogs and burgers but I don't like mustard on
Q except for Sims in Little Rock and I can't find a recipe similar. I guess ill
Keep going back and buying it in styrofoam cups.
 
Interested to hear the results with fresh garlic. The granulated garlic should definitely have better dissolution and give a more rounded flavor throughout the sauce.
 
love your posts boshizzle. As a virginny boy, BBQ disciple and overall history buff, can't wait for your book.
 
I made a batch last weekend for a small party we had and I got to say it was a
Grand Slam!! Everybody loved it! Thanks Boshizzle!:clap2:
 
My batch has been sitting 24 hours in the fridge. Having pulled pork sandwhiches topped with the red sauce and I'm making jalapeño cilantro lime slaw to stack on top. Looking forward to this
 
Bo, I just joined up here a few days ago and love this place. I just whipped up a batch according to your directions and I must say it's darn good. I will let it sit a few days in the fridge before I will use it this weekend. I'm pretty excited to try it. Thanks for posting it.

YCW, post the results!
 
I made a batch up Thursday evening and used it Friday in some bbq beans and then today on chopped brisket - it's wonderful and I think after it sits a week or so it will be even better.

I made two minor tweaks - didn't have celery salt but had celery seed so used that instead. I was also out of cayenne so I used a small amount of my dried Caribbean pepper dust.
 
I made some up too and took it with me to my wife's 4th of July family picnic. I didn't tell anyone what kind it was but everyone that tried it came up to me to say how good it was!

Definitely the best vinegar based sauce I've ever made, thank you Bo!
 
Definitely making this one. Gotta do my part to restore Virginia's BBQ heritage in the northern part of the commonwealth! 'course, that means I'll have to smoke up some meats to use it on. :cool:
 
Im from VA as well and am definitely going to give this a try!! Is anyone familiar with Jerrys BBQ Sauce? A Recipe maybe?

Not familiar with Jerry's, but looked it up and seems they are based in Richmond and sell out of some local stores? Can also be ordered online. Looks interesting. What's the flavor profile? Vinegar? Tomato?

I know Jerry. He's a great guy and makes a delicious BBQ sauce. You definitely need to track some down.
 
I made a batch of this sauce yesterday and used it to glaze a meatloaf I had on the smoker. Best meatloaf ever.

I think this might be my go to sauce recipe from now on. Thanks for sharing!
