Condiments - BBQ sauce

My love for ketchup lives side-by-side with my love for BBQ sauce. It makes almost everything taste better. And, it's a dipping sauce that tastes vaguely like bacon. Genius!

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 cup ketchup (commercial or make your own)
  • 1 cup prepared mustard (commercial or make your own - recipe coming)
  • 1 cup vinegar (grain-free options include: apple cider vinegar or brown rice vinegar)
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tsp liquid smoke (hickory flavor)
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Mix molasses and mustard.
  2. Add honey.
  3. Add vinegar.
  4. Add ketchup.
  5. Add liquid smoke.
Yield: I'm not sure on actual volume. I think 1 quart or 2 pint jars would be enough to store, if you're not going to use any right away.

ALTERNATIVES:
  • Try different kinds of vinegar.
  • Try different smoke flavors.
  • Try adding powdered spices - onion, garlic, cumin, turmeric, etc.
