"This sauce may be used to baste meats and poultry before grilling or roasting. I got this from the Shoalwater Restaurant in Seaview, Washington. Enjoy! You may easily half this recipe. You could make this in the crock pot, just cook on low for 2-4 hours."

I used this BBQ sauce for red beans. Threw red beans in a greased casserole dish, dumped in the BBQ sauce and slow baked for about 2 hours. Yum! Really good! Luckily I taste tested the BBQ sauce *first* before adding it the beans because I forgot to add the brown sugar! Made for Veg Tag/May. Thanks, Sharon!

Great sauce and really not hard to make. Don't let the long list of ingredients put you off. A nice tangy, tartness to this. I used chipotle chili powder for some extra heat. Used on some chicken pieces, but would be good on pork or duck. The Shoalwater in Seaview is now gone, so glad to have this recipe.

A nice tangy barbecue sauce! There were so many flavors blending together that if I hadn't made it myself, I wouldn't necessarily have known that cranberries were the main ingredient! Thanks for posting.
