Walter Jetton was Bbq caterer to the Lbj Ranch. In 1965, he (along with Arthur Whitman) published "Walter Jetton's Lbj Barbecue Cook Book." I have mentioned it a couple of times in posts, and, since the book is long out of print, I got several requests to post some of the recipes. Here are some of my favorites, along with Jetton's comments and instructions...

This is the secret of the ages I am giving you here, and I would not be surprised if wars have been fought over less. Use this as a plate or table sauce with beef, chicken, pork or almost anything else. Don't cook things in it.

(about 2 1/2 cups) Combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain.

(note - the celery pieces that you strain out from the sauce are among the most delicious things I have ever tasted - really wonderful. In fact, I sometimes made the sauce just to have some of the yummy celery. - Bruce)
