Basic Barbeque Sauce

This is our go to barbeque sauce, and we just about always have it on hand. But if need be, our kitchen is stocked with all ingredients, so that we can quickly put a batch together. We have not purchased a store brand barbeque sauce in years, since this sauce is the best we've tasted.
