 HOW TO MAKE SWEET BABY RAYS BARBECUE SAUCE

We love thick and sweet barbecue sauce like the Sweet Baby Ray's brand. When I found myself out of BBQ sauce recently, because of the Corona Virus grocery shortage, I dug out this old recipe....it is DELICIOUS and very MUCH like Sweet Baby Ray's regular barbeque sauce.

Ingredients:

1  1/4 cups regular ketchup

1  cup dark brown sugar (deeper flavor than light brown)

1/4  cup molasses

1/4  cup pineapple juice

2  teaspoons hickory liquid smoke

2  1/2 teaspoons ground dry mustard

2 teaspoons paprika

1/2  teaspoon garlic powder (not salt)

pinch of cayenne pepper

1  1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (not fine table salt)

1 teaspoon black pepper

 Method :

Put everything into a saucepan and whisk it together. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to slow simmer and simmer 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how thick you want it to be.

You can use this immediately or store in fridge for a week or so or portion it out and freeze it for future use.

NOTE: If you don't have kosher salt, you can use regular table salt, just use LESS, since kosher salt and table salt measure very differently.
