Braun Hughes new cook @FranklinBBQ & John Lewis leaves...

John Lewis has left Franklin BBQ, and Aaron has hired Braun Hughes.
  John is leaving for Cali & wants to do more KCBS Cook-Offs.  Should be hearing & seeing more from Porky's Revenge as John has already been kicking ass in just a short amount of time on the KCBS bbq circuit.  John is hanging for a few weeks with JMueller to learn sum Q from the best before he leaves.  Wish John the best.

MamaShed All Good Pie...

Last week going through a tin recipe box belonging to my stepmother (of 50 yrs) that passed away, I found this old recipe card (pictured below) belonging to her mother Grandma Ruth. I remember as a child both of them making this together on special occasions. As their story goes, this pie came about during the depression. There are many versions of this in the South stemming from folks using ingredients that where available to them by trade or bartering. Grandma Ruth bartered with tons of pecans for a handful of raisins. This is her old school Tampa recipe from us to you. We hope you enjoy it!

All Good Pie

Regular pie crust (not deep dish) forked and browned.
1 stick melted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts (recipe calls for mixed nuts) It is probably what was available.
1/2 cup raisins (I like the golden ones)
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon All Spice
1 teaspoon Nutmeg

Mix together, put in pie crust and bake @ 375 for 10 minutes then (see note on original recipe) 324 for 30. I don't know where that 324 came from but buddy I'll tell ya, that is what I set my oven on, you don't mess with Ms. Ruth.

Hope you enjoy it!

  Start out by giving Daniel Delaney of Delaney's Barbecue big respect.  I've sorta been doing the same thing as Daniel this summer, but with much less directive.  Goal is to be more versed in the brisket cook of A. Franklin & J. Lewis.  Post Oak, salt/pepper & creekstone farms.  No Oak Cliff this year.  #priorities #24hrfitness #brisketlabTx
