awesome recipe. I usually double it and give out bottles to friends at bbq's. Makes a great marinade for chicken as well. 2 things i do differently: -I usually cook the onions and peppers for 10-15 minutes and use a potato masher to basically puree them. -Add some J.D to it for an extra kick.

My sister who lives near Syracuse gave me the Dinosaur BBQ cookbook last Summer and this sauce is the basis for many of their recipes. Most of my fellow Texans would probably not share my taste for this sauce on smoked brisket, but I have really grown to like it. All of the flavors just kind of explode in your mouth!! And although I don't recommend keeping things in the fridge for a long time, I found out (by accident) that this keeps a very long time.

I've been making this Sauce for years. It's perfect with my husband's pulled pork!

I love this sauce. I have the cookbook as well and many of their recipes call for this sauce so I freeze the leftovers to use when I need it. It has a lot of ingredients but it is worth it!
