BBQ Sauce

Since I know that I saved a lot of money being a member of this site, and I love BBQ Sauce, I figured I'd kind of thank everyone for the help by giving you the recipe to the best sauce I ever made. I'm pretty sure that I'll be messing up some of the measurements, but you'll get the idea, and it's all about what you like anyways. *lost train of thought, thinking of BBQ*

32oz of Heinz ketchup
1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
about 1/2 cup of molasses
I guess a small handful of brown sugar
about 1 Tbsp of:
garlic powder
onion powder
chipotle chile pepper powder
ground clove
allspice
mace
salt
pepper

couple of squirts of:
liquid smoke
worcestor sauce
soy sauce

a dash (this is how much worked in mine) of REALLY hot habanero sauce. I think it was called tropical sauce company or something, and it was XXXXTRA HOT on the label. It was extremely hot, but actually does have a good pepper flavor to it. Even if you don't make the sauce, but like hot things, you should pick it up.

1 sweet onion
1 1/2 granny smith apples

Put the liquid ingredients in a pan and bring it to a boil, putting in the vinegar slowly. Lower the heat, simmer it, and put in your dry ingredients. Let it simmer for a a few minutes, then put in slices of apple and onion and let it simmer for at least two hours. Scoop out the apples and onions and let it simmer a bit more. At this point, you should be tasting and adding as desired. NOTE: I noticed mine tasted a bit funny at this point, and I thought I wasted a lot of time...it was almost chalkyish...trust me, don't worry. Towards the end, start putting in the hot sauce. ANOTHER NOTE: I know some people like a lot of hot sauce, but this sauce was pretty sweet tasting, and the hot just works as an opposing flavor, I didn't want the hot flavor to take over though; mine worked out better this way. Put it in a container to breathe and cool off on the counter top, prefferrably glass, maybe even a sealing mason jar. After some time of this, all while stirring occasionally, put it in the fridge. You can taste it all you want, but mine still didn't taste right at this point...but it blew my doors off in the morning. I suggest rolling up some burgers and tossing them on a grill. If you have a smoker, this may even work out a lot better, for the sauce and the burgers.

Like I said, I'm not 100% on the ingredients, nor do I think I remembered all of them (I'll check and edit if I missed some or messed something up), I'm going off the top of my head here. This was only the second time I made sauce, but this stuff was amazing, sweet and hot. Everything can be bought at Acme too, which is where I originally found the hot sauce and liquid smoke.

Thanks to any and all who helped keep the SSMorgan on the road, or replied to my senseless dribble and made me laugh at work. This site started as a great place to find info on my Bronco, and ended as a great place to meet and talk to great people. Let me know if you do this, and it works, or you have something else. I can sit here and talk about barbeque for DAYS on end.

If you drive a diesel and use Stanadyne, also will work with motor oil., my 123-barbecue sauce.

1 cup Stanadyne performance formula
2 cups brown sugar
3 cups Galliano Liqueur, install all ingredients together slowly simmer,
Taking lid off and stirring occasionally.

Once it has thickened place on beef of choice, caution while around open flame.
If the barbecue begins to really flame up, VERY GOOD possibility, drink the rest of the sauce. When finished you will not care a bit about eating.

that sounds good tim, and I think it's the brown sugar that makes it.

BTW- The sauce is from the Tropical Pepper Co., and like I said, anyone who likes things hot, should try some of this stuff. Just bring your cahonies with you.

After years of fiddling-around with different sauce con*****ions here's what I found works great. It's so simple, it's scarry. There's just two ingrediants...Open Pit regular, and Country Bob's all purpose sauce. The Country Bob's might be hard for some of you to find, but you can get it in the Midwest if you look hard enough. Just brush-on some Open Pit, and a few minutes later brush-on some Country Bob's. Keep alternating the sauces, back and forth until it just starts to blacken. You'll be surprised. There's something about the blended application of these two sauces that makes for some super Q. I find that it works best with baby back ribs. Guaranteed that you'll be smackin your lips.

My mouth is watering!! Stubb's BBQ Sauce is dang good and is what we use most of the time.

Rudy's BBQ 'Sause' is also great for times when you need a spicy kick in the chalupas.

Both of these are pretty much Texas brands, don't know if you can get them elsewhere.
