Memphis Barbecue Sauce no. 1

A little sweet and a little savory, with a touch of spicy for that just-right approach to barbecue, this sauce can be painted on ribs about 30 minutes before they are finished to produce sticky ribs, or it can be served warm on the side. It is also delicious on pulled Pork sandwiches, or as a dipping sauce for chicken. Feel free to omit the liquid smoke, or take the spiciness up a notch by adjusting the amount of black and cayenne pepper used in the recipe. Special thanks to Blake McCloud (
