Butch's BBQ Sauce

From Paul Newman's "Newman's Own Cookbook". Trust me the book is worth you looking into. He states this makes a lot. That's ok. It keeps well in the refrigerator and it freezes very well too. You can split the large batch half to eat now half to freeze for later. Great on steak. Great on ribs.
