Sweet and Tangy Barbecue Sauce
« on: March 25, 2013, 03:01:58 pm »
This sauce goes VERY well with smoked brisket, but would work with chicken, pulled pork, ribs... you name it.

Ingredients
  • 15-oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 cup tomato paste
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • 1 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1/2 tsp powdered ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/4 tsp ground cayenne
  • 1 tsp salt

Preparation
Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and heat to a slow boil over medium heat.  Cover the saucepan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for half an hour.  Remove the lid and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, stirring often.  Cool before serving.

This sauce can be used the same day it's made, but it will be better after a couple of days in the refrigerator.  The seasoning flavors will meld together and the taste will become smoother.
