Kansas city-style bbq sauce

1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
¾cupLight brown sugar, packed
1pack(1 1/4 oz) regular, flavor chili seasoning (I used GArry Howard's Chile Powder recipe)
2teaspoonsDry mustard
1teaspoonGinger, ground
½teaspoonAllspice, ground
¼teaspoonCayenne pepper
¼teaspoonMace, ground
¼teaspoonBlack peppper, fresh ground
1cupWhite distilled vinegar
¼cupMolasses
¼cupWater
32ouncesKetchup
3teaspoonsLiquid smoke (optional)

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, chili seasoning, mustard, ginger, allspice, cayenne, mace, and black pepper. Add the vinegar, molasses, water, and liquid smoke. Stir until dry ingredients are dissolved. Add the ketchup and stir to mix.

Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly to avoid spattering.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.

Use immediately or cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

This will last much longer than one week in the refrigerator if you use commercial ketchup (which has an antioxidant in it).
