Lexington #1 Dipping Saucebarbecue sauce, bbq list, carolina-style bbq sauce 1 quart ketchup 1 quart vinegar; (amber 4% acidity) 10 ounces sugar 8 ounces salt 4 ounces black pepper 4 ounces crushed red pepper 1 pinch red cayenne pepper; ground Combine all ingredients into a 1.5 gallon stock pot along with 1 gallon of water and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Spoon the piping hot dip onto the prepared meat just prior to serving. This is a very thin sauce, but it is the same formula that has been used around here for generations. This recipe was posted a while back by the son-in-law of the owner of Lexington #1, a highly regarded Q-joint. There is a certain amount of vagueness about whether the measurements are by weight or volume. I used weight for the dry ingredients and am very happy with the results.
