Thanks a bunch! Your moms bbq sauce is awsome stuff -- I made 2 batches, one with apricot and one with grape jelly. Both were fantastic with the grape being a bit sweeter -- (but not as much as I would have thought). I really liked the way the lemon gave it fresh taste without taking away from the sweetness. As you warned tho, all the sugar does make it char very fast so brush it on at the very end and keep your eye on it!

Bev, this sauce was outstanding, thank-you Bev's Mom!! and while I'm here Bev, thanks for putting me onto the dry heat pulled pork, what a difference!! I made three sauces to go with it, this one was a hit with everyone! We didn't use preserves, will try them next time. I particularly like the fact that there was not a lot of sugar, some others are a bit sweet for me. We loved the combination of flavours,the lemon was nice rather than a lot of vinegar and the butter really smoothed it out!! I will use this as a regular sauce to do all kinds of meats, thanks for sharing an outstanding recipe!!

WOWEE! This is a superb recipe - the sauce is not too sweet and it is soooo delicious! I have a sauce recipe I have used for many many years, but this is the one I will use from now on. Used orange marmalade instead of the peach or apricot preserves (had none) and it was great! Used it on barbecued ribs. Will definitely go into my favorite recipe file! Thanks so much for sharing, Bev.
