Essentials: Sweet and Tangy BBQ Sauce

Source of Recipe

From "The Prairie Homestead Cookbook" by Jill Winger


Recipe Introduction

"I seem to have a problem remembering to stock barbecue sauce in my fridge, which has resulted in a kitchen emergency more than once when I've found myself in the middle of a recipe needing a bit of barbecue flavor. I've served this slightly sweet and tangy sauce to a number of guests, and it receives ample compliments every time. It's best friends with Slow Cooker Pulled Pork, so you'll definitely want to serve them together."
