[recipe] Sweet 'N' Spicy BBQ Sauce

[Guest guest]

Someone here, Mike I think, asked if anyone had

a tried and true BBQ sauce recipe. Well, here is one

I love. I know most Worcestershire sauce is not

vegetarian, but there are a few out there [wizard brand,

and I buy Kroger brand]. You could replace it with the

homemade Worcestershire sauce recipe in the files

here if you can't find anchovy-free in stores near you.

Or just substitute some Bragg's liquid aminos or soy

sauce or tamari... it is just a small tablespoon so

not a huge deal.

Hope you like this recipe if and when you try it.

It is a summer must have for me. I enjoy dipping

veggie dogs in it, brushing it on veggie burgers,

and on tofu, too.

Of an endless past.
