Kansas City-Style Smoky Tomato Barbecue Style (Barbecue and Grilling)

 

                This recipe has a little more vinegar and kick than the typical sweet tomato barbecue sauces on the grocery store shelves.

Makes about 5 cups (1.25 L)

• 750 ml ketchup
• 375 ml chili sauce
• 175 ml cider vinegar
• 125 ml packed brown sugar
• 125 ml liquid honey
• 125 ml blackstrap molasses
• 60 ml dry mustard
• 60 ml water
• 15 ml hot pepper flakes
• 15 ml celery seeds
• 15 ml garlic salt
• 15 ml Worcestershire sauce
• 15 ml liquid smoke

1. In a large saucepan, bring all the ingredients to a simmer over medium-low heat.
2. Simmer for 45 to 60 minutes, or until sauce coats the back of a spoon.
3. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.

TIP : After you empty the ketchup and chili sauce bottles, pour some of the cider vinegar into each empty bottle. Recap the bottles and shake, then pour.
