As a newlywed I brought a version of this recipe to my in-laws’ barbecue. My mother-in-law instantly fell in love with it. She asked for the recipe and proceeded to tweak, tweak and tweak until it became her recipe, a tradition at every barbecue. We still make it in her honor. We miss you, Grandma.
