Dr. Pepper BBQ Sauce

I'm a huge lover of BBQ, Dr. Pepper, and spices. When I bring these three things together, I get Dr. Pepper BBQ Sauce. It has a bit of sweet, a touch of heat, and a nice smooth tang in the mouth. I use it anything that moos, clucks, or squeals! As always, you can see me make it here!
