BARBECUE SAUCE INGREDIENTS
(makes about 2 ½ cups)
2 cups tomato sauce
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses (can use honey or maple syrup)
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon of your favourite barbecue dry rub
2 teaspoons liquid smoke (or smoked paprika or chipotle powder)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a slow boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and gently simmer until dark, thick, and richly flavoured (10-15 min). Transfer the sauce to clean jars and store in the fridge, it should keep for a couple of months.
