Hey Charles, this is the sauce I make. Its alot like the sauces we would get
at the Q joints back home in Birmingham. Its got just a bit of ketchup in it
but trust me, its good sauce. And its really easy, too. You can adjust the
ketchup content to your liking. After you make the recipe taste it and just
add whatever you want til its the way you like it. Since you don't actually
cook anything it makes it simple to adjust.
