BBQ Sauce

This recipe starts with basic catsup, as most BBQ sauces do, but then you can add any other ingredients you like. If you have a favorite BBQ sauce recipe, use it, and substitute your own homemade catsup for the bottled variety. If your recipe calls for adding extra sugar, try adding evaporated cane juice or barley malt syrup instead.

This makes about 3 1/2 cups.

1 recipe Catsup
4 teaspoons chili powder (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
or any combination of chilis and/or chili sauce and chili powder you like.

1. Make the catsup according to the recipe.
2. Add chili.
3. Bring to a boil then simmer about 45 minutes, or until desired thickness, stirring occasionally.
4. Cool, then puree in a blender or food processor to desired smoothness.
