This is a copycat recipe for a Texas BBQ restaurant's sauce. Makes a whopping 5 quarts, but can't be reduced well. However, it freezes nicely, so make the whole shebang now and enjoy the surplus later. Ingredients:
2 1/2 quarts water |
1/2 tablespoon crushed bay leaf |
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary |
1 large onion, sliced |
1/4 cup meat drippings (bacon, ham, etc.) |
1 quart ketchup |
1 quart tomato paste |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1/2 cup worcestershire sauce |
1/4 cup vinegar |
1/4 cup molasses |
3/4 tablespoon black pepper |
3/4 tablespoon salt |
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder |
1/4 tablespoon ground thyme |
1/4 tablespoon sweet basil |
1/4 tablespoon cayenne pepper |
1/4 tablespoon ground cloves |
1 pinch ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Blend together in a 6 quart pot: meat drippings, ketchup, tomato paste, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, molasses, pepper, salt, garlic, thyme, basil, cayenne, ground cloves, and cinnamon.
2. In a separate pot, boil water.
3. Add the bay leaves, rosemary, and onion and simmer for 1 hours.
4. Remove bay leaves and rosemary.
5. Add the seasoned water/onions into the 6-quart pot.
6. Bring to a boil and simmer for another hour at low heat.
7. If sauce becomes too thick or is more spicy than desired, add more water.
