Two Recipes: Bishop Miller's Sweet and Sour Barbecue Sauce and Bacon Baked Beans

These are two Amish recipes that could come in handy this Memorial Day weekend.   While the Amish don't typically embrace Memorial Day to remember the departed (the holiday has militaristic roots and that makes many of the pacifist Amish squeamish) they do take advantage of the 3-day weekend for extra family time, fishing, camping or picnics.  These are two recipes that I have in my archives, both perfect for a picnic and you'll find them at some Amish gatherings!  The barbecue sauce recipe is formulated to use on 10 chickens which is a large amount for most of us, so feel free to cut back the recipe a bit!  If you click the sweet and sour barbecue sauce recipe you get the right recipe, but the wrong photo...the photo shows baked beans....some glitch and I just couldn't fix it.
