My mom, God rest her soul, used to make a barbecue sauce that had tomato
paste, dried basil, onions, brown sugar, and probably a couple of other
ingredients. She used it on chicken and ribs.

I lost the recipe, but I think I remember enough of it to recreate it. I was
wondering, though, whether it rings a bell for anyone else. Mom probably got
it from a magazine such as Sunset, so I would bet it's "out there"
somewhere. Any help would be appreciated.
