Homemade BBQ Sauce

Job hunting seems a lot different now than it was more than a decade ago.  Most of this week was me job hunting and having an interview which didn't pan out into anything.  It was pretty tiring, which is why I didn't get to post any recipes. :(  I have a backlog of things, and I'm going to get them posted to get caught up!

First on our list is a simple item that will tie the previous post and the next post together.  Homemade barbeque sauce!  This is a very simple recipe that you can make as you need it, or keep handy in case you don't use mass quantities of it.  You can adjust a few things here and there if you prefer a specific taste.  Simmering this with bourbon in place of the honey or vinegar might be an idea!

I've had this on sandwiches, roasted chicken, and pizza.  Tomorrow I'll post the Pulled Pork BBQ Pizza recipe!
