recipe: white bbq sauce

no pic with the wings-a-dippin...
too busy stuffing my face
i don't know where i read about or watched something on white bbq sauce, but whenever it was i've been dying to cook an entire southern feast as an excuse to make this since (the dream: homemade fried chicken, mac & cheese, corn bread, and ribs with white bbq sauce... southern bounty from heaven). for superbowl we were having wings, so boom, perfect excuse to give it a whirl. this sauce is apparently not well-known outside of Alabama, and i don't know why because it is delish (it's a less-intense dip if you're over-ranched-dressinged). i also don't know how it's still referred to as "bbq" sauce since it isn't red/maroon/orange, but i'll roll with it. i adapted the recipe from Big Bob Gibson's Bar-B-Q... apparently Big Bob owns the town when it comes to this stuff.

ingredients list:
- 1 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/8 cup apple juice
- 1 tsp prepared horseradish
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

to make: mix all ingredients in small bowl. chill until served.

so... i love this stuff. i have leftovers in the fridge, and it's great on everything... left over potatoes, sandwiches, whatever. i'm a big fan of ranch when i eat wings (bleu cheese is too harsh sometimes), but at times ranch is too tangy and obnoxious... this is nice & tangy but still a lil sweet sweet. and it's easy as hell, so worth a shot. i totally need to test it on ribs tho... mmm yeah. 8.5 ********~. UPDATE: this is also good on turkey sandwiches, potato skins, homemade crunchwrap supremes, and pizza crust dip... mmmmm.
