Slowly incorporate peanut butter and mix until well blended. Sauce will be slightly thicker than traditional BBQ sauce. Refrigerate leftover sauce in tightly sealed container.

I like to add a little pizzazz to my recipes, especially meat dishes, by adding a dab or two of some good ole peanut butter. For some mouth appeal, I have added to this recipe some chopped pecans. This sauce goes great with chicken and beef dishes! NOTE: All spices may be modified to your family's taste.
