Freedom, Family and BBQ Sauce

“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.” ~ Erma Bombeck

On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence declared US independence from Great Britain. Every July 4, Americans around the world celebrate with family, picnics and fireworks.

For my Rea family, 4th of July would not be complete without a BBQ with the perfect BBQ sauce. So, I share with you my latest recipe. Created out of utter desperation to find the ultimate homemade BBQ sauce, I found many recipes, tried many, failed many and finally found one and tweaked it to make it my own.

Wishing you a wonderful BBQ (sauce)!
