JAMAICAN BBQ SAUCE

This is one of my mom's tattered recipes from her well-used collection. It says 1998 and is from Heloise. Very nice sauce for chicken, ribs, or whatever. We had this at almost every family gathering by the grill. You can double the recipe and store in the refrigerator for up to one month. Cooking time is refrigeration time.
