Ingredients
One fifteen ounce can of diced tomatoes
Two cups tomato sauce
One cup tomato paste
One cup cider vinegar
One-half cup corn syrup
One-half cup cane sugar
One-quarter cup molasses
Two tablespoons onion powder
Four teaspoons paprika
One tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
One teaspoon garlic powder
One teaspoon chili powder
One teaspoon celery salt
One teaspoon liquid smoke
One-half teaspoon powdered ginger
One-half teaspoon ground allspice
One-quarter teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and heat to a slow boil over medium heat. Cover the saucepan and simmer the barbecue sauce for about half an hour. Remove the lid and continue to boil until the sauce thickens slightly, stirring often. Cool the sauce before serving.
This sauce can be used the same day it's made, but it will be better after a couple of days in the refrigerator. The seasoning flavors will meld together and the taste will become smoother.
