From Deni Finch-Frederick

The next few are from Deni Finch-Frederick.  Her note says that the following recipe came to her from her former mother-in-law whose husband was very actice in the GBBA for years.  Allegedly it is originally from the Union Hall on Sharp Street, across from Millville Manufacturing.  She remembers going there with her dad and the family in the 50's for supper once in a while and says that this tastes like what she remembers.

Union Hall Bar-B-Q
Cook 4-5 lbs. lean beef, covered with water, about 6 hours until it falls apart. Fry two onions in butter, then add 2 cups of meat stock.

Add 2 TB sugar, 1 bottle catsup, 1 bottle chili sauce, 1 bottle bar-b-q sauce, 3 TB Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp hot sauce, 2 TB vinegar, and 1 tsp salt and pepper. Stir in meat.

Raisin Sauce
Use with ham steak:
1 1/2 cups raisins
1 cup water
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup vinegar

Put raisins and water in pan. Heat slowly about 10 minutes to plump raisins. Add sugar and vinegar. Boil slowly about 15 minutes until thickened.
