Barbeque Brisket With Mopping Sauce is a Backyard Favorite

We have to give credit to the folks at Southern Living Magazine for this tasty basting mop barbeque brisket recipe. We don’t often use a basting sauce for brisket but we tried this one and it works well. The brisket was over the top and received many complements.
