Running Creek Barbecue Sauce

Submitted by RogerOH

"This recipe was developed by my Father and Aunt in the late 60's for Dad's restaurant. Dad had people coming from surrounding counties to get his Barbecue Beef Sandwiches. Mix it with shredded beef or pork. Add it to your favorite baked bean recipe for a truly fantastic flavor. Any left over sauce can be frozen."

excellent, cut the cloves all spice and cin. in 1/2. It takes so long to make ...worth it...but do you think you could process it in jars. i don't see why...any thoughts? Thanks

Very good recipe but found that the cloves overpowered the overall flavor. I will make it again but reduce the amt of cloves and allspice. Thanks for a great recipe!

Nice spicy flavor--this will replace my previous BBQ sauce used in shredded beef sandwiches, and I thought that one was good! Thanks, Roger, for sharing.

I used part of this to make sloppy joes and they were the best sloppy joes I've ever made. I've tried a ton of recipes and never could find a sloppy joe recipe that I liked but this is it! Can't wait to try it on some bbq once it stops raining long enough! I'm going to make a batch of this and give it to my kids. I've been telling them how wonderful it tastes and they keep asking me when I'm going to make it. Thanks Roger for the jar of sauce and for the recipe to make more when I run out! It's excellent!!

Absolutely the best BBQ sauce ever! I tried it last year and it was such a big hit that I just finished doubling the recipe for this years BBQ season. Expensive to make the first time buy well worth the cost!!!
