Barbeque Sauce     A collection of vintage barbecue sauces taken from homemade, handwritten recipes found in old recipe boxes.  I collect old recipes as a hobby. 

The decades of the 1950's, 60's, and 70's are my favorite.  Here are some of the barbeque recipes that I have discovered. 

The more I find, the more I add.  Our mom's little histories shouldn't be lost.

If you want to understand the 1960's, look no further then the family barbeque.

The 60's were easy times for us kid.  Riding bikes, roaming with our dog along fields and tree lined river banks, watching favorite TV shows, shows like Bewitched, The Munsters, or the Flintstones.  Having your best friend live right across the street. It seemed every summer's day was a holiday.

It was a great time, safe at home with mom and dad taking care of everything.

Not a worry in the world.  Ok, except for that little Cuban Missile crisis. I was sure we were all going to be blown to smithereens! And the Kennedy assassination, and Martin Luther King's death, and that whole Charlie Mason evil thing.

Other then that, life was perfect and no day was sweeter then barbeque day.

Our cookouts happened at various locations around Chillicothe, Ohio.  Some Saturdays, we would go to Tar Hollow State Park, by the lake, and use their grills and picnic tables.  Some days were the city park, sometimes we just stayed home.

Other times would be spent at my second cousin's farm, Bud and Elsie's.  Their farm had a huge lake...ok, maybe it just looked big to me, since I was so small. 

Anyway, while the men gathered wood and built the barbeque fire, the moms laid out the tables with tablecloths, plastic silverware, paper plates, cup, and tons of Tupperware food containers.

You couldn't barbeque without Tupperware in the 60's.  I don't think there's one plastic piece from that era, that doesn't still have a name taped to the bottom somewhere or written on in black magic marker.

Friday nights so special at Bud and Elsie's. Carry in dishes, campfires, singing songs, and eating barbeque. 

I love early evenings best, belly full, swinging my legs back and forth from a lawn chair, listening to the grownups talk.  I mostly didn't hear what they were saying, voices whispering, life was good, I suppose.

Listen...... I can almost hear the cricket's song and remember the burning wood snapping as red, yellow and orange flames gobbled up the night sky.  Water glistened, frogs croaked, fish jumped, little noises from the dark, the comfort of my little dog with his head in my lap, and I do so want some more.

Here are recipes taken from old recipe boxes of barbeque sauces, marinades, and other good picnic junk.  Understand for yourself.

One of my favorite places on the web for Hot Sauces is:

Hot Sauce by Sizzlin Sauces LLC
- featuring original recipe Hot Sauce, Spittin Fire, Howlin Hollar and
Creepin Quag, and Razing Cane Garlic Relish. Gift Baskets plus other gourmet
sauces and quality tee-shirts featuring Spittin Fire Hot Sauce. Sauces That
Sizzle! Yearn for the Burn!

What I like best is they offer a
recipe section for hot sauces.  It has a Thick Teriyaki Sauce that is to die for.  If you want some hot sauce recipes, I insist you try their recipe page. 
I don't make any money from recommending them to you.  I really just like their products and free professional recipes.  My sister ordered from this company a few months ago and they were very fast shippers and honest.
