Mama's BBQ Sauce
"There has seldom been a time in my life when a Mason jar of this sauce wasn't in a corner of my mother's or grandmother's refrigerator. The truth of the matter is, once you've had homemade you will go off the store-bought for good. Adapted from Chef Virginia Willis' cookbook, "Bon Appetit, Y'All"."
