Steely Dan Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 I love Country Sweet sauce. Just made some chicken and I'm letting it soak in the hot variety. For those of you unfamiliar with this sauce it's often referred to as a "Rochester Sauce". It is hot and sweet at the same time. It's damn tasty. In college my brother swore it must have had something addicting, like cocaine, in the sauce. It comes with macaroni salad that is awesome with the sauce on it. They put bread on the bottom which soaks up some of the sauce. Anybody else in love with this sauce? I got this sauce at Wegmans the other day.
twist_to_open Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Is this something you can do with wings? looking for something different. Do you have a recipe?
Steely Dan Posted August 30, 2008 Author Posted August 30, 2008 Is this something you can do with wings? looking for something different. Do you have a recipe? If you live in Rochester and maybe Buffalo or Syracuse you can get it at Wegmans. It comes from a restaurant in Rochester. I just looked to see if it was for sale on the internet. If you know someone who lives in Rochester they can probably send you some. Damn tasty.
Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Country Sweet: 1 cup sugar 2/3 cup prepared mustard 3/4 cup catsup 1/4 to 1/3 cup lemon juice 1/4 to 1/2 cup vinegar 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard (optional) 1/2 to 2 teaspoons hot pepper flakes (crushed red peppers) Combine all in a small saucepan and simmer until thickened. Vary the amounts of lemon juice and vinegar to adust the sweetness to your liking.

Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Where'd you get that recipe? Originally from my brother, who got it from a friend who used to work at a restaurant in Rochester that served it. But when I couldn't get ahold of him, I googled "country sweet wings," and found a recipe that looked like what I remembered. I don't remember the lemon juice, but still sounds good to me. Google really is amazing.
Steely Dan Posted August 30, 2008 Author Posted August 30, 2008 The ingredients on the bottle are listed as: sugar,distilled vinegar, water, crushed tomatoes, red pepper, modified food starch, salt, mustard seed, spices, lemon juice, natural flavor, sodium benzoate (a preservative)
Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 What is prepared mustard? Oh, just any, Frenches in a jar will do. Just plain old mustard.

Geneseo Grad Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 If you live in Rochester and maybe Buffalo or Syracuse you can get it at Wegmans. It comes from a restaurant in Rochester. I just looked to see if it was for sale on the internet. If you know someone who lives in Rochester they can probably send you some. Damn tasty. You can get it online from hotshoppe.com, an online store operating out of Syracuse, NY. They don't have a physical store you can visit, as far as I can tell.
Kiwi Bills fan Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I agree with you about this sauce. I've always been a huge fan of Sal's Sassy Sauce from Sal's Birdland. This is the same recipe and I can just put this stuff on just about anything.
ACor58 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 you guys are missing out. Uncle Ralph's is now the king of Rochester sauce. Try it and I promise you will love it. I could drink it straight from the bottle. http://www.uncleralphsmagicsauce.com/
Nanker Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Country Sweet is a rip off of Smitty's. He was the original - who of course ripped it off somebody in NC.
Kiwi Bills fan Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 care to send a bottle down? What does it taste like? you guys are missing out. Uncle Ralph's is now the king of Rochester sauce.

I'm marinading some chicken in some Chiavettas I brought back from my trip to NY last week. I'm going to whip up a batch of this stuff and try it on the chicken tonight. My son and a buddy of his will be eating dinner at the house tonight, so regardless of the taste, I know the chicken will get eaten up pretty quickly. If I have some leftover sauce (which judging by the measurements I will) I may try it on ribs this weekend as well.
stuckincincy Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 What is prepared mustard? It has something to do with a speech by a politician already in office and not facing re-election for a couple of years.
Just Jack Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 You can get it online from hotshoppe.com, an online store operating out of Syracuse, NY. They don't have a physical store you can visit, as far as I can tell. Not anymore, they used to though. Great store to browse though with his huge selection.

I'll throw a few chicken legs in the stuff overnight and fire up the grill...Nothing better for chicken.
PushthePile Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Chiavettas rocks. I'll throw a few chicken legs in the stuff overnight and fire up the grill...Nothing better for chicken. Chiavettas is a great marinade. I've been using a Wegmans made marinade called Mojo all summer. Outstanding!
