  • Walter Jetton recipes

    Going through some old files and found this. Nothing most of haven't seen before; just a bit of nostalgia. Pretty sure there were no food trucks back in his day. Look up his legacy if you would like a little BBQ history.

    Walter Jetton's Mop forAll Barbecue Meats
    Jetton's original recipe made 6 quarts, enough to mop a whole cow. I have modified it and reduced it here to make about 1 quart. He recommends you mix all the ingredients and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.

    2 teaspoons salt
    2 teaspoons dry mustard
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 teaspoon ground bay leaf
    1 teaspoon American chili powder
    1 teaspoon Louisiana Hot Sauce
    1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
    1/6 pint vinegar
    3 cups beef stock
    3 ounces oil
    1 teaspoon MSG

    Walter Jetton's Barbecue Sauce
    According to his obit in TIME Magazine, Jetton bragged that his barbecue sauce would "tickle the tongue of your Grandma's shoe." In his book, Jetton wrote "This is the secret of the ages I am giving you here, and I would not be surprised if wars have been fought over less. Use this as a plate or table sauce with beef, chicken, pork, or almost anything else. Don't cook things in it. Combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and strain. About 2 1/2 cups.

    1 cup tomato ketchup
    1/2 cup cider vinegar
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1 teaspoon American chili powder
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 cups water
    3 stalks celery, chopped
    3 bay leaves
    1 clove garlic
    2 tablespoons chopped onion
    4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    1 teaspoon paprika
    Dash of black pepper

        My pleasure fellas. He was a famous BBQ guy from Ft. Worth. Personal BBQ chef for President Johnson. Google his name and select images. Talk about old school open pit cooking.

                      Everybody has their favorite flavor but I just thought a bit of history might be fun. I can grow weary of the same old stuff and like to branch out on my flavors of sauce occasionally. Hope you all enjoy.


                      I found it better to read up on him before I used it. Made me appreciate the flavor profile.
