How to Make Big Al's K C Bar B Q Sauce
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter.
- Add 2 cups ketchup, 1 cup tomato sauce, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup wine vinegar, 1/4 cup molasses, 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, and whisk to combine.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon celery seed, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- For a thicker sauce, simmer longer. For a thinner sauce, simmer for a shorter time or add 1-2 tablespoons of water as needed.
- Brush generously onto your favorite BBQ meats during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking. Enjoy!
