So, what to do with the delicious smoked leftovers? Freeze them and make a great stew in the middle of winter.

• Sauce
• 2 T butter
• 1 ½ c ketchup
• 2 T yellow mustard
• ⅓ c white vinegar
• 1 T minced garlic
• 2 t black pepper
• 1 t crushed red pepper
• 2 t liquid smoke
• 1 T worcestershire sauce
• 1 T (or more!) hot sauce
• ½ lemon, juiced
• ¼ c turbinado sugar

• Stew
• bacon
• sweet onion, finely chopped
• green pepper, chopped
• celery, chopped
• minced garlic
• diced russet potatoes
• canned tomatoes
• corn
• lima beans
• peas
• cayenne pepper
• bay leaves
• dry mustard
• salt
• chili sauce
• meats of choice, the more that is smoked the better, all the smoked goodies
• chicken or beef stock
• white vinegar

In a sauce pan, melt the butter. Add the ketchup, mustard, and vinegar. Stir until smooth.

Add the garlic, black pepper, red pepper, liquid smoke, worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Stir until mixed.

Add the sugar. Stir constantly and bring to bare simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes. Do not burn!

In the soup pot, fry enough bacon to cover the bottom of the pot until the bacon is crisp. Remove bacon and reserve, after eating a chef's portion.

Sauteé the onions, green peppers, and celery. Toward the end of the sauté, add the garlic.

Add the potatoes and sauté for a bit - not going for any color here, so don't burn the other veggies.

Add tomatoes and cook to bring out the flavor.

Everyone else into the pool and cook until done or you can't wait to eat any longer.

Add a dash of vinegar and season to taste

Cooking time: 2 hours
