Barbecue Sauce Recipe - My husband is an avid hunter. He likes the challenge of studying about a species and their habitat and then planning a hunting trip with his brother or friends. He is always very careful in how he processes the meat so that it does not spoil or have a strong game taste to it. The best part for me is that he also enjoys preparing the meat. He likes to cook, but he is learning how to do this. Cooking is a process and he does not have the full process down yet. He has yet to learn the art of timing. As a result the meat, which he is most concerned about, is usually perfect however the side dishes are either under done or overcooked. I love to cook and have taken many courses and have experimented in the kitchen for years. I have developed several recipes. My most famous accomplishment is a barbecue sauce recipe.
Several years ago my husband and I were hosting a patio party for the partners of the law firm that he was joining. We decided that we would serve ribs and chicken along with a variety of salads and desserts. We were new to the area so I did not know of any good caterers so I decided that I would do all the cooking myself. I pre-baked the ribs so they would be tender and I marinated the chicken. I made a large batch of a barbecue sauce recipe that my family enjoys. We like barbecue but we could never find a sauce that had the right amount of spice and sweetness. I started experimenting by adding ingredients to prepared sauces and then began making the sauces myself. After several attempts I finally came up with a concoction that we all liked. The barbecue sauce recipe is made by guess and through tasting rather than by measuring.
At the party the senior partner of the law firm fell in love with the barbecue sauce recipe. His specialty is patent law. He insisted that I should patent the recipe and then market it to a restaurant change that the firm represents. The restaurant specializes in barbecued foods. At first I thought that he was just being flattering, until my husband brought home the paperwork for me to fill out to obtain the patent. We made a great deal of money selling the barbecue sauce recipe to the restaurant chain. They now bottle the sauce and sell it at their restaurant. I no longer make the recipe I buy the sauce by the bottle. I never thought that I would be part of such a business transaction involving one of my kitchen concoctions.
