substitutions: barbeque sauce

[Guest guest]

My husband has the disgusting habit of drowning perfectly good food in barbeque

sauce, usually a commercial prep (KC Masterpiece) with HFCS as the second

ingredient.

After fifteen years, I've finally discovered that carefully explaining how

disgusting and unhealthy his habits and tastes are changes nothing.

Coming up with decent alternatives works much better.

There's no reason why bbq sauce has to be unhealthy, is there? Tomatoes,

honey/molasses, spices, vinegar - this could work.

Does anyone have a good recipe? It needs to taste as close to conventional as

possible - and a little sweet. And it needs to be an easy recipe that I can

make by the quart every week or two without making a horrendous mess. Ideas?
