1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce

This was easy to make and I liked that it didn't have vinegar in it. I let it simmer for about 30 minutes and we really enjoyed it. Thanks for the recipe.

I can't believe I didn't rate this in November, when we had a big party and used your recipe. AMAZING results!!! I made it exactly as listed and my guests went nuts over it. I used hickory liquid smoke and it was perfect. Thanks! Oh, I also let it sit overnight in the fridge.

Made a double batch of this sauce primarily to use in your Barbecued Pulled Pork #132604, but also so I'd have some to keep as a dip for another day! Thought about omitting the liquid smoke (not usually on my pantry shelf) but then decided to go the whole way, & am very glad I did, although I did cut it back to just 2 teaspoons! This is a GREAT, ALL-AROUND SAUCE FOR MEAT, & something I'll be making often! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in the current Pick-A-Chef]

Boy!this is the best barbecue sauce! I totally understand why your DH eats this sauce by the gallon. LOL It is very delicious!! I had made some pork short ribs in the crockpot today and decided that I wanted barbecue.I didn't have any barbecue sauce,so I came to Zaar and searched for a sauce and came across this recipe. I am so glad that I found this one cause its totally yummy! Its a keeper for sure in my cookbook. Thanks for sharing your recipe Gail2293! I know I will use this sauce many more times
