Doc’s Satin Smoke Barbecue Sauce

This popular Georgia barbecue sauce perfectly bridges the deep South. It combines a rich, sweet tomato base with a sharp apple cider vinegar tang and a signature hint of mo-jo mustard.

• 1 tbsp Tupelo Honey
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• dash of liquid smoke

Instructions

1. Combine ingredients: Whisk all ingredients together in a medium saucepan until smooth.
2. Simmer: Place over medium heat until the mixture begins to bubble.
3. Thicken: Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Cool and store: Let the sauce cool completely before bottling or brushing onto ribs.

MEMORIAL DAY

A Verse for the Fallen

The bugle sounds a quiet note, the fabric ripples high,

We raise a toast to brave young souls beneath the summer sky.

From Normandy to distant shores, they gave their lives, their all,

Now at the table, wrapped in love, we honor those who fall.
