Instructions
- Combine:
- Whisk catsup, water, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce together in a small saucepan.
- Season:
- Stir in chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer:
- Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
- The sauce stays thin — it is not meant to reduce much.
- Use and store:
- Use warm as a basting sauce while grilling, or cool for serving alongside cooked meats.
- Store covered in the refrigerator up to about a week.
Registrar's Notes:
The original card listed only ingredients — no method was written down. The instructions above are a reconstructed, reasonable simmer-and-baste method typical for a thin BBQ sauce like this one, not Mom Yancy's own words.
Ingredient quantities confirmed by PJ: 3/4 cup catsup, 3/4 cup water, 2 Tbsp. vinegar, 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp. chili powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
