In the summer of 1942 my Grandmother Bessie created a tangy,
honey sweetened basting sauce. She concocted it in a creamery pail and brushed
it on pork ribs and chicken she was cooking for the family’s annual
picnic. Bessie shared some with friends and a few neighbours close to her
Muskoka home. They said she should bottle and sell it. It was “Damn
Good!”
Requests for her basting sauce continued and the next thing she knew she was making sauce all of the time. She put it up and sold it in pint cream bottles.
My Home & Cottage Chef catering business still uses Bessie’s original OL’ MUSKOKA basting sauce recipe for grilling and rotisserie, oven broiling, baking, and roasting. It’s wonderful on chicken, pork, beef, fish and vegetables. Over the years I’ve taken the liberty of adding some new flavours to compliment the original recipe. My customers still tell me it’s Damn Good!
For best results, brush a little on both sides of the food during
the last 5 minutes of cooking. Let the heat caramelize the sauce. For a bolder
more full flavour, baste and
caramelize twice. It’s
been a Damn Good tradition in our family since 1942. Your family, friends,
and neighbours will love it too!
