Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, mix together all of the ingredients. 
  2. Once the mixture heats through, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
  3. If you'd like a thicker sauce, simmer uncovered for longer, up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  4. Use the barbecue sauce as a dipping sauce, serve over pulled pork or brush on meat in the last 10 minutes of grilling.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This also freezes well.
