Lexington Dipping Sauce #1 Interpreted

made up a batch of lexington #1 dipping sauce to go with my pork butt tonight. very delicious, indeed. i broke it down in half and used the highly scientific method of buying 2 ounces of pepper, measuring it, and using that as the basis for dried measurements. who knows what this might have done to the original proportions, but i figured you gotta start somewhere. heres how it went: boil with 1/2 gallon water next time ill reduce the salt and sugar a little bit (1/8 to 1/4 cup each?) sauce was great.. perfect compliment to pork. the idea of using it hot is so obvious, but was a big revelation to me. keeps the meat nice and hot. didnt get around to making slaw.. my daughters ex and i ate the whole butt at one sitting. you can really get a lot more in when you dont fill up on space holders like a bun and slaw. got to do it again for my wife when she gets home wednesday. misses my butt.
