This simple Barbecue Sauce will really wow your guests. Easy to make and it keeps for a few weeks in the fridge. I have used it as a baste on Chicken, Gammon Pork and Lamb Chops. It brings a bit of summer into a winters kitchen. Surprisingly, this barbecue sauce works really well as a basting on grilled fish and adds a nice tang to the food reminiscent of visits to Sicily.
