Man this is really rich but also really good. I used it on a meatloaf and it sure picked it up!! I'll add more of it to the meatloaf when I use the leftovers for sandwiches. -
What can I say that's not been said already about this sauce? It was excellent! I reduced it way down to get it very thick as I cooked it on ribs. It wasn't hot spicy, it was sweet and tangy. (I thought it might be more so with the tabasco, but it wasn't) It was wonderful, plan to use it a lot. Thanks! -
This sauce is so wonderful - and easy to make - that I doubt the Titanium Family will ever buy bottled BBQ sauce again. When we're in the mood for the spicy stuff we'll just add some cayenne. Thanks for a GREAT recipe! -
With BBQ sauce this easy who needs to buy the bottled! I put it over country style ribs in the crockpot. VERY VERY good. The flavor is wonderful if you like a smoky BBQ sauce. -
Made today, as directed, and served with Pulled Pork. Excellent flavor and easy to make. Everyone enjoyed it. Need to make more the next time.

I know this is Todd Wilbur's Top Secret Recipe, but it has far too much vinegar in it. The first time I made this I reduced the vinegar to 2/3 c as suggested in reviews of various postings of this recipe. It was still over the top acidic from the vinegar. The amount of molasses also overpowers the delicate flavour of the honey. What I do now is use 1/4c apple cider vinegar, 1/4 c molasses & 1/4 c brown sugar, and leave the rest of the ingredients as noted. I also don't find that I need to simmer it for the noted length of time or it gets too thick.

Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p>
