Well from my previous post you know that the beans for this recipe went to a Bean and Sausage soup and the sauce turned into a fantastic barbecue sauce that will be so good on my ribs this weekend and meats over the summer. I wanted to give you a chance to see and make the recipe that not only Renee is crazy about the flavor, but to let you decide how close to Bush’s it really is. I would love to tell that dog Jay he can keep his secret and spread this recipe all over the world! LOL
