Mom’s Famous BBQ Sauce

WHY I LOVE THIS RECIPE: My Mother would make a huge batch of this sauce and at least once a week my Father would BBQ dinner. Our friends and family always wanted the recipe. My Mother always made this by taste and spent an afternoon measuring and adjusting and writing down the amounts so that she could document the exact amounts. I have made this sauce for family events and the taste always brings back wonderful memories of family dinners.
