I know you all have been waiting, so here it is...

The BBQ sauce recipe! 
I have had so many people ask for this recipe. Every time I make it, I take a jar to my neighbors. I used to joke with Sam, that is was the only reason she kept me around. My BBQ sauce. I have also had friends try and drink it. It is a combinations of lots of experimenting from random cookbooks, and online recipes.

I have 2 versions, one with vinegar and one without. There are so many ways to tweek it and change it, so have fun, be original and enjoy it! 

This is for the regular tangy sauce:
 
BBQ sauce

2 cups ketchup
2 cups tomato sauce
1 ¼ cups brown sugar
1 ¼ cups vinegar (white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar or even white wine vinegar)
½ cup maple syrup/honey/molasses (I most often use honey)
4 teaspoons hickory flavored liquid smoke (DO NOT USE MESQUITE)
½ teaspoon garlic powder (or throw in 1-2 fresh minced cloves)
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon celery salt
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine everything in a large sauce pan. Bring to a low
boil, reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes.


For a sweeter sauce that is awesome on chicken and pork ribs drop the vinegar.

That's it. Super simple, and delicious!
