Rounding out the choices for the Soul Sauce, the Mild is stewing away for the 3 hour cook. Hot and Medium are in the jars, most of which has already been shipped out to friends.

Okay I'll ask. What is a Soul Sauce?

This is a recipe I got about 30 years ago from an old man on one of the back roads in the south. I stopped along the road while this man was barbecuing and spent a couple of hours talking to him about barbecue. In addition to doing his barbecue he was also making sauce. I asked him if I could have the recipe and he was very hesitant and said he did not share this with anyone. After a couple of hours he did give me the recipe as long as I would promise not to share with it with anyone. I have kept my word

Uh, okay. Good story though.

Good on you for honoring your friend by not sharing the recipe, as was his wish.
