PALEO BBQ SAUCE

BBQ Sauce is one of those recipes that I am almost scared to post. People are very particular about their BBQ sauce....and depending on which city you live in you probably have a particular type of sauce you like. This is just one of many BBQ sauces I like to use, so don't hate me (not for my sauce anyway... there are plenty of other reasons to hate me). I also like the South Carolina mustard based sauces and I will have to post one of those next time I am in the mood for BBQ. Actually I am always in the mood for BBQ. Darn it now I want more BBQ.
This recipe is an easy to make and basic sauce that has a bit of a kick to it. My family is split between those who like their BBQ meats with just a rub and no sauce, and those that like sauce. I can eat it either way and be happy. I wind up making the meats with the rub on them and then making a side of sauce for those of us that want to use it. Best of both worlds if you ask me!
