Myrtle's Note:  I swapped out garlic powder to garlic paste, for a bit fresher taste.  I wanted to add a little heat to this to balance all the sweet, so I added the two peppers.  And I upped the salt to that end, too.  This is my first ever barbecue sauce.  I was tickled pink to discover a recipe for Dr Pepper barbecue sauce posted on my Facebook wall by a dear friend.
