Hoop Dee Doin' It Tonight

Tomorrow is officially the first day of summer! Although, if your weather is anything like the weather we’ve had around here it’s felt like summer for the past month or so… Summer means that it is time for barbeques. While we are big fans of the rub and sauce from Flame Tree Barbecue, we thought we’d venture back to some of Walt Disney World’s earliest recipes and one of the first on property barbeque sauces we tried as a child.

Pioneer Hall, and all the restaurants contained within its walls, are known for their fried chicken, cornbread, and hearty fixin's. What often times gets overlooked its the Hall's ability to do barbeque. So, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Fort Wilderness’ Pioneer Barbecue Sauce!
