Kansas City Style Barbeque Sauce Recipe

In preparation for my next attempt at smoking, I made some homemade BBQ Sauce.  The good folks over at Smoker-Cooking.com were nice enough to post this recipe and I followed it to the letter.  If the early reviews – quick tastes by my wife and brother – are any indication, this recipe is a winner!

Kansas City Style Barbeque Sauce

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups of water
• 1/2 cups of your favorite ketchup (I used Heinz)
• 1/3 cups white vinegar
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 2 tablespoons of white sugar
• 1 teaspoon of Liquid Smoke flavoring
• 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder

Procedure

1. Add all of the ingredients to a saucepan.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.  Be sure to stir regularly during this step so that all the ingredients combine well.
3. Once the mixture is at a boil, reduce the heat to medium.  Continue boiling until the sauce thickens.  Stir regularly during this step.  Thickening usually occurs after about 1/2-hour.

I took the author’s suggestion and let the sauce sit in the refrigerator overnight.  You can serve right away however.
