Melt the butter in a large saucepan or in the microwave using a large glass bowl or jar (such as a pickle or mayo jar). Add in about an equal amount of Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Add enough catsup to thicken the sauce, mix vigorously. Add the rest of the ingredients, tasting often. Add additional spice.

Good combinations: hamburgers: maple syrup and cinnamon chicken: lemon juice, honey, oregano or thyme, garlic ribs: molasses, orange juice, herbs This sauce can be used before, during, and after barbequing.
