BBQ Pig Tail

List of Ingredients




Yield: 6 servings

2 Dozen pigs' tails
2 tb Olive oil
1 c Tomato sauce
1/4 c Tomato paste
1/4 c Brown sugar or syrup [Maple, perchance? S.C.]
2 tb Wine vinegar
1 ts Worcestershire sauce
Juice of 1 lemon
1 Clove garlic, finely chopped
1 ts Dry mustard
Salt and freshly ground
-pepper to taste
1/2 ts Rosemary (optional)

I attribute this recipe to the Mennonite colony of Ontario.

Prepare pigs' tails according to Step I in basic instructions; cut in
3-inch pieces. Place pigs' tails on a rack and bake in a 300F oven for 2 to 3 hours, until meat is tender and most of the fat has baked off. An alternate method
to this is to simmer the pigs' tails in acidulated water for 1 1/2 hours.

Combine all other ingredients for barbecue sauce, coating tails well. Grill over hot charcoal, turning and basting, until crisp. If fresh rosemary is available,
break off several branches, tie them together and use as a basting brush. For barbecuing, we prefer leaving the tails uncut or halved so as to have fewer piece
to constantly turn.

Serve with traditional barbecue accompaniments such as corn-on-the- cob, French bread and green salad.

Serves 6 to 8.
