Instructions: 1. Heat the vegetable oil over moderate heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly soft.

2. Add all the remaining ingredients, and simmer sauce, uncovered, for 20 minutes. (The sauce will thicken slightly.)

Rosengarten, I thought Id offer these recipes from his book. Of these sauces, weve only tried the SOUTH CAROLINA STYLE BARBECUE SAUCE so far, and it was terrific. My Atlanta sister says its authentic.

The Carolina story gets even more complicated when you consider South Carolina. There, as in Georgia, yellow barbecue sauce, made with lots of commercial mustard, is often the sauce of choice. Were not too crazy about the flavor of Frenchs mustard, but the following medium-thick, yellow, authentic sauce does add delicious layers of flavors to the mustardy core.

We find it especially delicious with something quite un-barbecue-like: grilled shrimp.
