SWEET -N-TANGY BARBECUE SAUCE



Sweet -N-Tangy Barbecue Sauce image

The only barbecue sauce I use, for everything from shredded pork loin or ribs to thin sliced ham sandwiches or shredded beef. Often served with chilled potato salad & fresh homemade dinner rolls to mop up the sauce (if not using the meat in a sandwich already).
