We used to make barbecue sauce at home when I was a kid. My mom had several recipes, including one that called for beer and another that called for coffee. My favorite was Black Knight Sauce, although I don’t really remember what it tasted like now. It’s been too many years. I recently made some “generic” barbecue sauce and the quantity was so great I had more than enough to last for several years. The recipe above looks like a small amount, maybe good for a small jar or marinade, or enough to baste a brisket when roasting on the grill and some for the sides.
