A great change from the old tomato based favorites, white barbecue sauce is a highly regional barbecue sauce that is an old favorite of the "deep south" folks.
Here is a basic recipe, with suggestions for some popular variations, that the "Cookin Cousins" borrowed from a couple of unforgettable stays in "Dixie Land".
Alabama White Barbecue Sauce
NOTE: This recipe works for any chicken, turkey, ribs, pork or lamb you wish to grill or barbecue.
Mix thoroughly the following:
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (white vinegar, if you must)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup water
2 tblsp sugar
1 tblsp ground black pepper (fresh peppercorns, recently ground)
This recipe makes a little over a cup, but may be doubled.

Another Alabama Barbecue Sauce Recipe
Mix the following together, 'till-nice-and-smooth:
2 cups mayonnaise
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar (white vinegar, if you must)
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar (we like brown or Turbinado sugar for this recipe, but white will do just fine)
2 tblsp ground black pepper (fresh peppercorns, recently ground)
2 tblsp salt
Now, you have just over 3 cups of this fun sauce and can add some of the following for more flavor. Try adding them separately, any combination, or all together!
