Red Wine Barbecue Sauce

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Plan ahead this sauce needs to be refrigerated overnight before using, as the flavors will intensify. You can purchase liquid smoke in any of the major supermarkets. This is one of the best BBQ sauces I have tryed yet!"

A nice spicy, smokey bbq sauce. Not sweet at all, which I hate about comercial bbq sauces. Perfect on ribs or chicken. Used red wine vinegar, otherwise everything remained the same.
