In 1964 a friend gave me a barbecue sauce recipe. It was mild and just the best sauce. Somewhere along the line I lost the recipe. I've done searches on the web, but can't find it, and it is impossible to locate my friend. The sauce had a bottle of catchup and a can of tomato soup in it. I can't remember the rest of the ingredients. If anyone has the recipe, I'd sure love to have it.
Since I have done long searches on the web and can't come up with the recipe, I've come to believe that my friend 'invented' her BBQ sauce, so I think I will invent my own using a combination of ingredients from your recipes. Thank you so much for the input.
I don't know if this is the recipe you're looking for as it uses tomato juice rather than soup but it sounds similar. It's a bit 'sharp' so I tend to cut down the vinegar, but it makes a great sauce! From my grandmother's 1950 Betty Crocker cookbook:
Texas Barbecue Sauce ("For ribs")
