Recipe Introduction


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.




List of Ingredients




2 1/2 quarts water
1/2 tablespoon crushed bay leaves
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


Recipe



1. Blend together in a 6 quart pot: meat drippings, ketchup, tomato paste, lemon juice, Worchestershire 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 hr.
4. Remove bay leaves and rosemary.
5. Add the seasoned water/onions into the 6 qt 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.
