Directions

Prepare pigs' tails according to Step I in basic instructions; cut in 3-inch pieces. Place pigs' tails on a rack and bake in a 300F oven for 2 to 3 hours, until meat is tender and most of the fat has baked off. An alternate method to this is to simmer the pigs' tails in acidulated water for 1½ hours.

Combine all other ingredients for barbecue sauce, coating tails well.

Grill over hot charcoal, turning and basting, until crisp. If fresh rosemary is available, break off several branches, tie them together and use as a basting brush.

For barbecuing, we prefer leaving the tails uncut or halved so as to have fewer piece to constantly turn.

Serve with traditional barbecue accompaniments such as corn-on-the- cob, French bread and green salad.

Serves 6 to 8.

We are from the Kitchener area and are north of Houston Texas at the moment, I was thrilled to go into a small grocery store and find pigtails, a rare find. Need less to say they came home with me for a delightful feast. So tasty.

For all the times we have enjoyed home made pig tails with red cabbage and sour kraut. You will just love the sticky honey brown sauce. You can't find a better way to entertain your friends and family.
