Ingredients

• 16 oz can tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup (4 oz) water
• 1/4 cup (2 oz) vinegar
• 2 tbs brown sugar
• 1/2 fresh onion - or 2 tbs onion powder
• 2-4 fresh garlic pods or 1 tbs minced garlic-pureed, or 1 tbs garlic powder
• 2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbs coarse black pepper
• 1 tbs Paprika
• 1 tsp Tabasco sauce
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp dry mustard
• 1 tsp liquid smoke

• 1 tsp salt or cajun seasoning mix (homemade, Chachere's or Zatarain's)

Instructions

1. Puree the fresh onion and garlic, if using fresh.
2. Add all ingredients to a thick walled pot.
3. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add water or simmer longer to achieve the desired thickness; I do not like it too thick.
5. Makes a little over a pint , depending on how much you cook it down.
6. Keep refrigerated. The sauce is acid enough to store for several weeks in the refrigerator.
