If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Don't you wish your barbecue....

was pink like mine?



Recently, I found some "ketchup" in the grocery store- I was very brave and decided to use a ketchup+vinegar recipe for barbecue this time. As you can see, the ketchup I used was made with pink tomatoes!

I try as much as possible to find creative, healthy meals that don't require a 7 hour bus ride to the import store. Vinegar based barbecue (which I'm pretty sure is the only kind of barbecue God eats) is on that list. Everything I need for it can be found right here in our city! I just pop it in the crock pot for 8 hours in the vinegar sauce and then make some steak fries to go on the side.




Here's the recipe~

Pork (we use chicken breast as a healthy alternative)
1 1/2 cups vinegar (you can choose white wine vinegar, or any other vinegar that you fancy)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup pink ketchup (just kidding... real ketchup would be better)
1/2 t ground black pepper
1/2 t red pepper flakes
Crock it for 6-8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. Shred it up and eat it plain or on yummy home-made bread as seen above.

I'm going to start a new tradition of rating my recipes-
Scott's rating:

3.5 out of 5 kisses!
Christine's rating: 5 stars for simplicity, 3 stars for yumminess
(just to give you an idea, pot roast earns 5 stars, and steamed veggies earns 1 star. Scott says nothing I make is a 1 star... but I'm pretty sure that last night's un-eaten green beans tell the truth :-)
