Fantastic exactly as written. Perfect blend of heat and sweetness and flavors... my husband said I should quit buying barbecue sauce and just make this. (And we live in the BBQ Capital of Texas!) We like things spicy, so I actually doubled the chipotles.

Well strap me to a rocket and send me up into space...cos this was out of this world!!
Seriously...this is quite simply the BEST barbecue sauce recipe that I have ever made-and I've been through quite a few believe me...DH actually said to cancel the search for his ultimate bbq sauce, as this was it.
Quick,simple,no cooking and tastes absolutely fantastic. We used it on pulled pork sandwiches...and we're still drooling...really glad that I doubled the recipe, as this stuff is good enough to drink!
Five stars....how mean, but that's all I'm allowed to give. Top marks to you gailanng...again!!!
Made with absolute pleasure for AUS/NZ Recipe Swap#50.
