Smokey BBQ Sauce

Submitted by Sandy Doenges

"I have developed this sauce over a few years. The flavors develope a richer more flavorful sauce over the next day or so in the fridge. I always have everything on hand and takes no time to make. I keep an extra bottle in the fridge. If you want spicier, you can add some chopped jalapeno, or onion."

This looked like just the kind of barbeque sauce I was looking for - and I set out to make it only to find I had about 1/2 cup of ketchup left in the bottle. I decided to use this recipe, but cut it way back and kinda estimated on the amounts. I also did not cook it on the stovetop either. I had seen other no-cook barbeque sauces so thought this might work here too. I am sure it would be even better if I had followed the directions exactly, but even with my changes it was delicious! Not too sweet, not too smokey - perfect! I can't wait to get some more ketchup and make a full recipe!
