This barbecue sauce takes a while, because you want it to reduce and get thicker. I named it Not My Mama's because she really didn't like to cook things like barbecue sauce, preferred store bought. She'd only cook things for long periods on Sunday morning when she was at church and they could be in the oven for 3 hours. LOL.
