It's been a year since last I posted in this thread, and still I haven't tried your recipe, Dutch!
But it's my birthday this week, which somehow means I get to cook for the party tonight (I know you guys know what I'm talking about...)
I'll be making WBB along with Scarbelly's Wings--both a first! Scary!!
Now, my rule of thumb is to go by the recipe the first go-around, but with all the wonderful suggestions in this thread, I wanted to run a couple of mods by ya'll and see if they'd be consistent with the spirit of Original WBB...
I'm doubling the recipe and was going to use one pound of bacon, and 2/3lb sausage (leftovers from a stuffed mushroom recipe I'm also doing tonight)
I like the idea of crushed pineapple, was thinking of going that direction
Was going to try molasses...I've reviewed this entire thread, and did see some mention of substitution but am still a little unclear. The conversions I saw were using molasses and granulated sugar instead of brown sugar, but in reviewing the OP comments I got the feeling he substituted brown sugar/molasses...so I was thinking (since I'm doubling the recipe) one cup brown sugar and 1 1/3 cup molasses?
