NON SMOKIN BAR-B-QUE SAUCE
I don't like smokey, overly sweet and overpowering Bar-B-Que sauces. The bacon drippings combined with a sweet-sour, spicy flavor enhances the taste of meat or poultry. Apply more sauce just before serving. This recipe originated from my 25 year old copy of "Joy of Cooking". This is a double recipe which I double again and freeze in 2 cup containers.

SWEET BAR-B-QUE SAUCE
I usually don't measure anything, so if it is too tangy add more ketchup. If it isn't sweet enough add more brown sugar. If it doesn't have the bite you want add a little more Worcestershire sauce, but just a note ketchup will always calm it down , Worcestershire will always give it bite & brown sugar will always sweeten it up for you. Make it your own.
