My family and friends love this one I make--and think I should bottle it. It is in the vein of a western North Carolina tomato based sauce popularly served here with pulled pork. It may seem relatively thin in consistency to you. You may simmer it down to a slightly thicker sauce.

You may also "customize" it with additions--cook them with the sauce.
ground onion
chipotles or other chilies
Louisiana style hot sauce (I do not recommend Tabasco--TOO hot to control small amounts) to taste
Molasses or honey

1 28-32 oz. bottle tomato catsup
1 ketchup bottle cider vinegar
3/4C brown sugar (more if you like)
3/4C prepared yellow mustard (just plain ole hot dog mustard)
3/4C Worcestershire sauce
1 TBS coarse ground black pepper
hot or sweet smoked paprika if you can get it.
Simmer for 30-45 minutes. A bit longer if you want it thicker.

If you wanted a Jack Daniels style bourbon BBQ sauce, you can add a half cup of bourbon the last 5 minutes of cooking.

I have given this sauce many times for Christmas to accompany a smoked chicken or pulled pork. There is enough acid and other "preserving" ingredients that it is not necessary to process it. I actually keep mine in the pantry cupboard with no problem, but would probably suggest refrigeration to gift recipients.

This is a dual recipe, one for the dry rub, and another for the sauce. Everyone who has tried it says it's outstanding. Hope you like it.

BBQ rub and sauce:

Dry Rub:
2 tbl sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp dry mustard

Mix all together, sprinkle generously on meat, and rub in thoroughly.
Let stand two hours.

Sauce:
1/2 cup catsup
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3 tbl soy sauce
2 tsp ground ginger (or fresh or jarred)
1 tsp granulated garlic (or fresh or jarred)
1/2 tsp Tobasco sauce

Combine ingredients in saucepan. Cook and stir till sugar is dissolved.
Brush mixture on both sides of meat and grill until done. Heat remaining
sauce and serve on the side.

*I make up 3-4 batches of the sauce and rub at a time, storing spices in
a shaker jar in my cupboard, and the sauce in the fridge. It keeps a long time.
