After many years of trial and error, I finally got this delicious barbecue sauce just right. I had always wanted to make my own sauce because I just couldn't seem to find a bottle sauce that I particularly liked. This sauce is sweet, tangy and has just a bit of a nice bite. It works great on most meats and is exceptionally good on pork. It's also a great dipping sauce for chicken tenders or nuggets. I featured this sauce on my "Mess o' Mama's Barbecue" recipe, but I also wanted to post this barbecue sauce recipe by itself in order to make it easier to find. Hope y'all enjoy!
