BARBECUE SAUCE - THICK AND SPICY

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a pot in order of list, stir with a whisk to blend, bring to a simmer and simmer very slowly for about an hour to an hour and a half. Watch carefully and stir so not to scorch the bottom. A slow cooker is perfect. I suggest serving warm, it is a thick sauce.
• You can taste this at any time but before making adjustments I recommend simmering for an hour before making adjustments to allow all the flavors to blend, you will not get the true finished flavor after just 5 minutes.
• If it is not sweet enough add more sugar, for thinner sauce add more broth, beer or water. Don't want little chunks of onion then sub a teaspoon or so of onion powder.
• This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, etc. for bigger batches, I quadrupled it for the BBQ stand.
• This stores nicely in the refridgerator.
