• 1 tbsp Mustard
• 3 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 2 tbsp Vinegar
• 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 3 tbsp Brown Sugar
• 1 tbsp Black Pepper

Simply mix all the ingredients in a bowl and you are done. You can use the BBQ sauce right away but the flavors will blend together better if you prepare it the night before and it stand in the refrigerator overnight.

This is a great base sauce that you can add your own flavors too. Try various types of mustard or adding a small amt of maple syrup or perhaps apricot liquor.
