BBQ Sauce or The Recipe my Brother Stole

Photobucket

Many years ago my brother was a cook at a local restaurant known for their excellent BBQ ribs. He made their "secret" sauce so many times he had the general recipe memorized. The restaurant went out of business not long after he worked there so I think it's now safe to share.

Here's the ingredients needed to make the magic. For the oregano, I like to use both leaves and the ground up stuff.

Use this recipe as a starting point. Mix the ingredients and then take a taste. Add more spices, liquid smoke & vinegar as needed. I almost double the amount of liquid smoke, oregano & cayenne. I know it's perfect when I take a taste test and can't resist the urge to have just one more and maybe just one more.
