The heat is on when you brush on Bruce Fisher's tongue-tingling sauce! You'll also detect a hint of fruity sweetness, thanks to the apricots he adds. "It's known among my family and friends as 'Bruce's Hot Juice'," says this East Bloomfield, New Yorker. "I've been making this barbecue sauce for 20 years and get requests for the recipe every summer. I'm always happy to share it."

I wasn't a fan of this BBQ sauce. It was too sweet and didn't have enough depth of flavor.

This BBQ sauce is a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it.

I'm not a huge fan of BBQ sauce, but this one is really good. It's not too sweet or too smoky.

I've tried many BBQ sauces, but this one is by far the best. It's the perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and spicy.

Easy to make and delicious! I used it on pork ribs and they were fall-off-the-bone tender.
