This is a basic BBq sauce recipe from Allrecipes.com. I’ve been using this for years.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups brown sugar

• 1 ½ cups ketchup

• ½ cup red wine vinegar

• ½ cup water

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• 2 ½ tablespoons dry mustard

• 2 teaspoons paprika

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 1 ½ teaspoons black pepper

• (optional)2 dashes hot pepper sauce

Directions

1. Combine brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, water, and Worcestershire sauce in a blender. Season with mustard, paprika, salt, pepper, and hot pepper sauce. Blend until smooth.

2. For a more intense flavor and better texture, pour sauce into a small pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 1 minute. Allow to cool before filling into a resealable container (it will fit exactly into a 32 ounce ketchup bottle). Store in the refrigerator.

   Cut back on the brown sugar to make it less sweet, or add more Worcestershire for more 'steak sauce' appeal.
