GF BBQ Sauce

I'm a fan of the tomato based bbq sauces that run more towards the sweet than the tangy or the spicy.

This one is tangy and a little spicy and if you're not into tomato based sauce you can cut the tomato sauce halfway or none at all.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I put a million things in it.

Get out a medium sized pot.
Throw in:
1c Water
24oz Bottle Catsup
1/2 med Onion (minced)
1/3c Dark Brown Sugar
1/3c Honey or Molasses
1T Raisins
1T Yellow Mustard
1T Minced Garlic
1t Lemon Juice or Lime Juice
1t Black Pepper
1/2t Seasoning Salt
1/2t Cayenne Pepper
1/2t Chili Powder
1/2t Ginger Powder
1/2t Cumin
1/4t Onion Powder
1/4t Garlic Powder

Simmer on low-med for about 30 minutes, stirring often but not constantly.
Watch for the onions to turn clear. Once that happens, the simmering is to cook it down to almost your desired thickness.

Let the sauce cool for about 20 minutes and pour it into a food processor and puree.

Pour it into a bottle and go daddy go.

Notes:
Once you've made this and tasted it, if there's anything you want...add.
More spicy? Add cayenne.
More tangy? Add lemon.
More sweet? Add brown sugar.
Just needs something? Add adobo criollo or garlic powder.

Enjoy!
