"struttin' Sauce" for Kansas City Sloppy Ribs

Submitted by Epi Curious

"My KC Sloppy Ribs recipe is posted separately. This is the homemade barbeque sauce to accompany them...or for any grilling as the sauce is versatile and MUCH better than any sauce you'd buy in the grocery store. From "Smoke and Spice" by Cheryl and Bill Jamison, a James Beard award winning book."

This is a truly 10 star sauce, made it for a treat for the staff at our restaurant and literally had to fight the bosses off. Can't say how wonderful it is. Thank you Epi for posting such a wonder Linds
