Super Easy, no cook Homemade BBQ Sauce

You may be going off to a BBQ this holiday weekend or just entertaining your family at home.   Instead of buying the bottled stuff at the super market why not try this vinegar based sauce.  The recipe makes a ton 2 qts so  you can easily halve it.

 My daughter (8 yrs old)  made a batch of this sauce for a father's day gift.  We made a label on the computer and just glued it onto the jar.  Add a topper and you have yourself a great hostess gift.  Make sure you tell them it lasts in the fridge for 1 month.

I simply tried it over chicken but I am sure it would be great with a pork tenderloin in the crock pot for pulled pork sandwiches.  Very tasty and you can add any other ingredients to make it your own.
