Here's
a simple way to make barbeque sauce. I've never found a barbecue sauce recipe
that tastes as good as my own.
The sauce you get in those expensive little jars is never enough, or worth the cost. Plus, they always have too much vinegar in it, that makes it taste too strong.

3/4 cup water

1 teaspoon

1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2
tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

lasts a long time.
