Barbecue sauce recipe..........?
Here are a few smokey BBQ Sauce entries. Here's the deal, you need to make it and test it, if it's too tangy, add some sweetness. Whiskey really mellows the taste, so does brandy and cognac. I know it seems like that wouldn't work but it does. I have also been known to throw in apricot jam to add a fruity sweet note. Enjoy! <3
