All messages from thread Message 1 in thread From: Carol Miller-Tutzauer (riacmt@ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu) Subject: RECIPES: BBQ Sauce Collection (including some based on Ketchup) View this article only Newsgroups: rec.food.cooking Date: 1992-08-29 08:07:48 PST Recently someone emailed me and requested a copy of a collection of BBQ sauce recipes I've garnered from various cookbooks I have at home. I thought that since I finally rounded the thing up, others might be interested in it.

Anyways, here's the complete collection (including some new page markers left over from my word-processed version): Best Collection of BBQ Sauces Sauce for Jane's Best Barbecue Ribs ----------------------------------- Source: Jane Butel.
