Don's Tangy BBQ Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 cups ketchup
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1 1/4 cups red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 4 teaspoons hickory-flavored liquid
smoke
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Directions
- In a large saucepan over
medium heat, mix together the ketchup, tomato sauce, brown sugar, wine
vinegar, molasses, liquid smoke and butter. Season with garlic powder,
onion powder, chili powder, paprika, celery seed, cinnamon, cayenne,
salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to low, and
simmer for up to 20 minutes. For thicker sauce, simmer longer, and for
thinner, less time is needed. Sauce can also be thinned using a bit of
water if necessary.
- For best results, refrigerate for a couple of days so the flavors
combine.
- Brush sauce onto any kind
of meat during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
