Great-uncle Joe worked the recipe out in Hialeah, Florida after he came home from the war in the 1940s, and he shared it with exactly one person — his sister. Three generations later it still hasn't left the Nelson family and it still isn't written down anywhere you can get at it. Pitmaster Lee Nelson tightened it up for the competition judges, and that's what's in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSouthern sweet-tangy, and noticeably less sugary than most American sauces.
