Key contents

• Physical artifact: torn sheet from a pre-printed notepad headed "FLOOR FASHIONS" (teal decorative border/logo band) — the notepad is scratch paper, not the recipe's source; no attribution to a person is given anywhere on the sheet.
• Title as written: "Country Rib Barbecue Sauce" (underlined).
• Ingredients:
• 1 cup catsup
• 1 cup cider vinegar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 8 oz pineapple juice or apricot nectar
• (second addition) 4 oz more pineapple or apricot
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (mixed with the second 4 oz addition)
• Method: 1. Mix catsup, vinegar, brown sugar, and 8 oz pineapple juice/apricot nectar together. 2. Mix over medium heat till boiling. 3. Add 4 oz more pineapple or apricot, mixed with 2 tablespoons cornstarch. 4. After boiling, stir until it becomes translucent.
• No yield, no serving size, and no explicit cook time given (method is stovetop and self-terminating — "until translucent" — so it is still fully cookable as written).
