(this was posted originally to recipecircus by Filus)
List of Ingredients
28 ounces tomato puree
4 cloves garlic -- pressed
1 small onion -- diced
2-1/4 c. sugar
1 c. red wine vinegar
2-1/2 T. Worcestershire sauce
2-1/2 T. liquid smoke flavoring -- (not Wright's*--see below)
1/2 c. molasses
2 T. Tabasco sauce
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 T. salt
1 T. dark sesame oil
1/4 c. bourbon (optional)
1/4 c. fresh lemon juiceRecipe
Combine all ingredients except lemon juice in large sauce-pan and bring to a boil. Simmer until desired thickness (about 1 hour). Turn off the heat and add lemon juice, mixing well. Store in refrigerator. Keeps indefinitely.
Original poster's note: I find Wright's Liquid Smoke to be too intense and concentrated. It reminds me of the day after a house fire. I much prefer Colgin Liquid Smoke.
Yield: about 5 cups (about 20 servings).
