The Smoke Chops Sweet Georgia Brown Sauce is a bold, tangy barbecue sauce that balances sweet, spicy, and smoky flavors, perfect for enhancing pork chops, ribs, or other grilled meats. For this versatile sauce we use sweet Georgia Vidalia onions along with the rich sweetness of dark brown sugar, and molasses. The result is a robust sauce with a Southern flair, ideal for slathering on smoked or grilled dishes, with adjustable seasoning to suit personal taste.
