Memphis-Style Finishing Sauce

Wednesday, 18 November 2009

Description

This is the sauce that is traditionally served over smoked ribs in 
Memphis and other parts of Tennessee. Some cooks add prepared yellow
mustard to the recipe. It can be converted into a basting sauce by
adding more beer and a little more vinegar. Add more hot sauce to taste,
or substitute red chile or cayenne powder.
