Durkee Famous Sauce

[lakemirror]

This is my favorite condiment for sandwiches made from leftover turkey on Boxing Day. Has anyone seen it here in the UK?



Thanks for any leads.....

I've not seen it but if you you go to www.americansweets.co.uk then contact them they might be able to get it for you.

Thanks for that site, I've got it bookmarked now. Hmmm....Aldershot....(takes a look at Google Maps).....just down the road from Tongham. I am so there!

If ever anyone finds this sauce in their supermarket, here is a great use for it:

Lake Alfred Chicken BBQ Sauce - from an old family friend

Plenty for 4 leg quarters or a dozen thighs:

1/2 lb butter
2 cups water
1/2 cup vinegar
juice of 2 lemons
1 tsp prepared mustard
2 tsps sugar
1 bottle 10 oz Durkees Famous Sauce.
Tabasco
Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter in large saucepan. Add remaining ingredients. Baste chicken in sauce toward the end of cooking time to prevent burning

Notes: Lake Alfred is a small, rural town in central Florida about 5 miles from me. I use less butter than called for by about half, just my preference. I use a light-color vinegar to avoid darkening the color of the finished sauce. Reserve some of this sauce for use at the table. This stuff is delicious....very tangy. Piquant, even.

The shop is less than five minutes from Toby's house. Unfortunately it's expensive because the stuff is all shipped in. However you can get some stuff there that's not available elsewhere.

Mmmm like 'Lucky charms cereal'..... Ok, Ok, not strictly (or at all really), a BBQ food but hey! Smashing way to start your day... ( guilty pleasure)

Sorry Tom, got off topic there, what does it taste like? Looks a bit mustard/peanut butter..ish

Sad to say, I have never seen or heard of it, and I live in the US I see it is carried in the Kroger supermarkets, which is where we shop most of the time. Since I hadn't heard of it, I tried a web search and found this DFS Substitute recipe:

Sometimes copycat recipes are better than the store-bought ones. Like Bisquick -- we have a copycat that produces much fluffier pancakes and biscuits.
