Honey BBQ Sauce

This sauce is terrific on BBQ'd chicken, ribs, pork and as a cold dipping sauce. My dear husband can't keep his hands out of the kettle when I'm cooking up a batch of this. Yeah, I admit it's sometimes a bit easier to run to the store and get a bottle of BBQ sauce, but this has more of an "omph". Enjoy! :-)
