Description
A thick, sweet, and smoky sauce, perfect for the ultimate barbecued ribs! Also does great in the crock pot with the meat or beans of your choice. This recipe makes about 4 cups sauce, but it keeps well in the fridge or freezer, and makes a great homemade gift!
Apparently this originally came from america's test kitchen, but the friend i got the recipe from didn't mention that! Thanks to chef 219653 for the heads up!
