Long time no see, brethren! I thought I would update you on the latest research of old Virginia Barbecue. Here is a pic of a pork butt cooked the way pork barbecue has been barbecued in Virginia for hundreds of years. It's an authentic old Virginia barbecue pork butt 'with just enough of the brown' just as the old time Virginians used to describe when talking about Virginia barbecue in the early 1800s. According to all early sources, Virginia barbecue was brown in color. That means they didn't coat the meat with candy colors before barbecuing it like the people in Kansas City do nowadays. They preferred to let the smoke and heat and meat throw a party and create the most delicious, natural bark on the meat that can be created.
Also, I include a pic of a barbecue sauce based upon the barbecue recipes used by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall of Richmond, Virginia from the late 1700s to the early 1800s. The recipe was probably concocted by his manservant (enslaved) named Japser Crouch Therefore, I call the sauce "Jasper Sauce" and it's delicious. Anyway, here is some BBQ pron I thought some of you might enjoy.
