It's Hot in the Summer
BBQ is a Joy of the Summer Months
Dancing Poly BBQ Sauce makes everything taste great. Of course, it's smoky heat is wonderful on all slow smoked meats but I've even known people to toss some in their potato salad or even fry there bologna in it! However you use it, make plenty. This recipe doubles and even triples well and the sauce freezes well.
