OT:cookin sauce

Happy Thanksgiving to all my southern neighbours.

For those of you who may have time to answer silly questions today, I have a query.

In the US there is a cooking sauce called Woody's Cook-In sauce. Years ago my DH developed a liking for this but it was not available in Canada. He has tried to find it on-line and found that it was no longer in production. We have recently discovered that the original company has been bought out and DH is working on a plan to become a Canadian distributor for them. (Like we really need one more thing to do, but better busy than bored.)

Since this group is well know for having opinions, is there anyone out there with strong likes or dislikes about this product? Anybody even tried it? Any favorite uses for it? If you do like it what would you consider to be a reasonable price per jar? I'm thinking it looks rather pricey, but then I've never tasted it.

I have no experience with this stuff. DH's love of it happened before he and I met. I've never heard anyone else ever mention the stuff.

I'm looking forward to getting our sample order so i can try it out, and I intend to send out a jar to 'all' of our 16 children as a starting point to get opinions on it before we invest too heavily in this.

Right now we are busy revamping our on-line store for knifemaking supplies. Once that is done I guess we will be setting up a web-site/online store for the cook-in sauce.

Need to find a way to get back to my fabric!

My mouth is watering with every mention of TURKEY. Guess I have to wait for Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving

I can't help you with the sauce. I've never heard of it. Is it possible that it was only sold in a particular region of the U.S.? Is it a BBQ sauce?

I found a recipe online for the sauce. Having never tasted it before, I wouldn't know how accurate it is, but it's worth a try if nothing else.

Woody's Cook-in Sauce Recipe

2 Tbsp Water 3 6oz cans Tomato Paste 2 Tbsp Canola Oil (Soybean Oil) 2 Tbsp White Vinegar 2 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar 3 Tbsp Liquid Hickory Smoke Flavor (Hickory Smoke) 1/2 tsp onion powder (Spices) 1/2 tsp garlic powder (Spices) 1/2 tsp black pepper (Spices) 1/2 tsp paprika (Spices) 1 tsp Salt 1 tsp Dark Molasses (Sugar, Carmel Color) 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce (Soy Sauce, Carmel Color, Anchovies, Onions, Tamarinds, Flavoring, etc) 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum (thickening agent)

Mix all ingredients and simmer until flavors combine and consistency is right.

Woody's was a staple in our home (Texas). Mostly my dad used it for brisket. He would slow cook on a grill, basting with Woody's along the way. And my mom would put a good brisket into a big pot on top of the stove, cooking it all day with Woody's heavily poured over.

We also used it for chicken, steak (yes, we sauced steaks while cooking), burgers and .... everything but fish. If I could find a jar today I'd buy it. But I doubt it would ever taste the same as it did when my dad used the long cooking fork, rag wrapped around the tines, to brush it onto the crusty fat of a brisket on the charcoal grill.

Put me down as a HUGE Woody's fan.

Sunny now I'm really hungry -- sigh

Thanks Pauline I'm not sure where abouts it was sold. DH first tried it in Ontario when he met a family from Florida. They used Woody's in their baked beans. I guess it was pretty good! The family brought some back to Ontario with them and kept DH supplied for some time. I gather it is kind of BBQ sauce flavor, but that you would use it more as a marinade or spread on while cooking.

Guess I'll just have to try it out.

Thanks for the recipe. I'll keep it for when we get some.

DH just found a site with customer testimonials from the old company. Apparently when the company announced it was going out of business people were paying $20 US a jar to get it before it was all gone. Nuts!

Thanks so much Sunny

That's what I was really hoping to hear. Somebody besides DH that REALLY liked it.

Now I'm really looking forward to trying it myself. Guess that means I'll have to COOK. Haven't done much of that lately. We've been living on pre-made frozen dinner stuff. Life has just been too busy to cook!

Now I'm thinking Turkey and BBQ .....mmmmm

This isn't a dipping sauce. Matter of fact, the only time my mom served it at the table as a dip sauce, she cooked it first in a sauce pan, adding stuff. I don't know what. Probably brown sugar.

It's definitey a marinade and cook sauce. I don't think it would be dangerous to use it for a dipping sauce, just I didn't eat it that way.
