Grandpa Andrus's BBQ Sauce

The Andrus family recipe (my mom's side of course) ... I am sharing with you, because, well, frankly why not share great recipes! Now Vandy is not a vinegar based bbq man, but the smell of this sauce cooking all day and then some more on the next day brings back the most delicious memories. And I LOVE this sauce!!! It really reminds me of my Mom and my Dad working together in the kitchen to prepare for the next day's festivities. Of course, you must have my Mom's potato salad, which my sister makes now, my baked beans and Joe always brings the beer. Dad babysits the ribs and chicken all day long --- slow long charcoal basting food .... the oil sits right next to the grill with a basting brush smothered in the oil ... baste baste baste, the sauce is the last thing to be applied before you pull it off the grill and then we use it also as a dipping sauce on the side. Egads, my mouth is so watering right now. So here I go --- enjoy!!!
