Here’s another side-dish from Nanny Florida’s recipe box. You can’t go wrong with a classic. Although Nanny Florida & Hubster never had the opportunity to meet, I’m sure she’d approve my addition of bacon crumbles for him. If you’re taking this dish to a pot-luck picnic/barbecue, I suggest serving the bacon crumbles on the side, so more people can enjoy the dish.

Last week, I pulled out Nanny Florida’s Barbecue Sauce recipe card. Since it’s been too hot to cook inside, I kept this recipe on the back burner. Today cooled off a bit, (crazy that 84°F is cooler!) and I decided to give this one a try. We used it for our grilled chicken and it was delicious! Thanks Nanny Florida! ❤

4 Tbsp. cider vinegar, 3 Tbsp. brown sugar, 1 c. ketchup, 2 c. water, 1/4 c. Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp. prepared mustard, 1 tsp. paprika, 1 c. chopped celery, few drops of tabasco sauce, 1 tsp. salt, 1 Tbsp. minced onion

Directions:
Mix ingredients in saucepan, simmer half hour on top of stove.

Her serving suggestions:
*Pour over spare ribs, complete cooking for another 1/2 hour, uncovered.
*Place spare ribs, pork chops, or chicken in roaster, covered. Bake at 350°F for about 1 hour.
*Bake potato or rice, pour the sauce over top.

My serving suggestions:
*Use as barbecue sauce when making pulled chicken BBQ.
*Use to marinate and baste chicken when grilling.

This would be perfect for Father’s Day!
