Tangy Barbecue Sauce
My mother-in-law created this recipe, and we just can't get enough of her delectable sauce! I always keep a little out of the basting dish prior to using it on the grill so we have some to serve at the table. It tastes terrific on any grilled meat.

I made this with my Panela instead of brown sugar. It is a far tastier form or raw, artisanal cane sugar than brown sugar. I used Colman's super spicy english mustard too. Fantastic! Justpanela.com
This is a delicious bbq sauce, and also a great Sloppy Joe sauce. (For Sloppy Joes, brown ground beef or turkey, add a generous amount of sauce, and cook a few minutes more.)
Very good sauce! I used it on shredded chicken breast for sandwiches!! Love the lemon in it! Gives it a refreshing taste!
Excellent taste and very easy to make
I will never buy barbecue sauce again. We love this recipe and it's so easy to make!
This has been a favourite in our kitchen for years, keeps well so great to have on hand.
Great recipe and taste great one you'll use over and over again.
For extra zip in the sauce I added Franks Red Hot and used Apple Cider Vinegar instead of Cider Vinegar and if you like it a little smokey, try adding liquid smoke...
I tried this recipe for the first time on back ribs and it is fantastic! Best BBQ sauce recipe I've ever tried
This was just ok. I'm trying to find a recipe as good as the bottled stuff, but this wasn't it. It wasn't bad, just not great.
