I've been making this BBQ sauce off of the top of my head for years. My kids want me to write it down. It's just hard because it gets to the right taste (I call it it's tang) as I season and taste it. So that's why I said in the recipe title, "make it your own". Enjoy! PS I make a lot of sauce for 1 recipe - we just like it that way.
