"This barbecue sauce is great on ribs, chicken or just as a dipping and snacking sauce. It is sweet with just the littlest bit of tang. My kids love it."

Chose this recipe because it was so quick and easy, and I had everything on hand. I knew adding that much liquid smoke seemed like far too much, but decided to go for it anyway. Just goes to show how tastes differ - the smoke smell and taste made me nauseaus, whereas my husband thought it was pretty good. Go figure. In any case, add liquid smoke with caution! I ended up throwing out the first batch. Made it again, this time with 5 DROPS of liquid smoke, and it's much better.
