This is a flavorful sauce, on the sweet side. Add the lower amounts of sugar and molasses if you like your sauce a little less sweet. You can always add more while you're simmering the sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 cups ketchup
  • 1/4 cup chili sauce
  • 3 t o 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon liquid hickory smoke flavoring
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • dash cayenne pepper, or to taste

"This sauce is amazing. It has replaced my other barbeques sauce reipes, in my file box! I did make a change and added a little more smoke. I use smoke on everything barbequed, as we love that taste!"
