Why buy bottled sauce with all the preservatives and additives? You will love this dark and rich barbecue sauce. It is slightly sweet and spicy and tastes great on chicken, beef or pork. Easy to make with most ingredients right in your pantry! Enjoy! The photo is my own, and so is this recipe.

    NOTE: If your sauce is not as thick as you would like it to be, add some arrowroot if necessary. Mix it with 3 or 4 tablespoons of the sauce, whisk until smooth and stir it into your sauce to thicken while you are cooking it.
