Recipe by Cookkev

I've been making my own BBQ sauce for about 8 years now and can no longer stand buying it in the store. I usually don't measure what goes into my sauce but I gave it a shot and decided to just list the base ingredients and generalized amounts. If you use this recipe please realize that you will need to taste and correct your sauce as you go. If you are a exact amount kind of person then this may not be to your liking but I find it the most enjoyable way to experience the wonders of cooking =)
