Stillhouse Barbecue Sauce

  

This is a Lynchburg-style barbecue sauce - tangy with a good bit of vinegar, and sweet and spicy. 

Brush some stillhouse on whatever you’re grilling near the end of cooking so the sugars will caramelise but not burn. 

Everybody will want a little more Stillhouse, so have extra already warm on the table.
