Ingredients:

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      quart         ketchup
   1      quart         vinegar -- (amber 4% acidity)
  10      ounces        sugar
   8      ounces        salt
   4      ounces        black pepper
   4      ounces        crushed red pepper
   1      pinch         red cayenne pepper -- ground
 

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients into a 1.5 gallon stock pot along with 1 gallon of water and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Spoon the piping hot dip onto the prepared meat just prior to serving. This is a very thin sauce, but it is the same formula that has been used around here for generations. This recipe was posted a while back by the son-in-law of the owner of Lexington #1, a highly regarded Q-joint. There is a certain amount of vagueness about whether the measurements are by weight or volume. I used weight for the dry ingredients and am very happy with the results.
