The original sauce recipes have been passed down three generations. My Grandfather Joe Edwards (Papa Joe) from Ashland City, TN created these recipes.

He used the Basting Sauce for whole hogs cooked over open pits, and the Barbecue Sauce for beef, chicken , fish and road kill. He called both recipes Hot Pepper Sauce.

My uncle JW Edwards continued to use these recipes for our family reunions, and passed them down to me. These are hand made sauces, produced in a local kitchen not a factory.
Just like Papa Joe did it, it's still made with family in mind.

  This sauce is HOT and GOOD I hope that you enjoy the wonderful taste and flavor Papa Joe’s sauce adds to the meat.
