1/4 lb butter 
 1 cup Worcestershire sauce
 1 cup catsup
 1/4 cup honey, molasses, or maple syrup
 1 - 2 t black pepper
 1 T dried oregano or tarrgon
 juice from 1 lemon or orange  
 2 cloves pressed garlic
 1 small onion, finely chopped
 1 t other spices: cinnamon, cayenne pepper, paprika
 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.  The 
 sauce should taste fairly pungent, as it will mellow in flavor
 during barbequing.
 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.
