Mustard Paint

This is an old style mustard-based barbecue sauce. This recipe is for a basting sauce used for smoking or grilling slabs of ribs, pork loins, pork butts, pork tenderloins, ham, chicken, or any meat of your choice.

Prep Time: 15?minutes

Total Time: 15?minutes

Yield: Makes about 6 cups

Ingredients:

• 1 12-ounce can flat beer
• 4 cups prepared yellow mustard
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
• 1 tablespoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and store in an air tight jar in the refrigerator. This barbecue sauce will keep for several months. You can replace beer with lemon juice or liquor. You can also use the Dijon style mustard for the American mustard.

My preference is to use just 2 cups of prepared mustard, keep the other ingredients the same and substitute 2 Tablespoons of Real Lemon for the flat beer.

When ready to use, paint the mustard sauce on the meat or chicken and then put your favorite spice rub on. Grill or smoke.
