                        BIG MAMA'S BARBECUE SAUCE

1/2 cup tomato sauce
4 cups ketchup
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup water
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 cup maple or corn syrup
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup steak sauce
2 tablespoons seasoned salt
1 cup coca cola
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon red pepper, optional

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan; mix well. Bring to a boil,
stirring constantly to avoid scorching. Reduce heat, simmer 1 hour.

           Makes 2 quarts.


Adjustments:

Hot sauce: replace with Tabasco sauce, Jamaican Fire sauce, Bottled Hell or
           whatever you like.

Red pepper: Add more if you like it hotter.

Sugar: Try white, light brown, dark brown to see which is better to you.

Sometimes I add 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple (drained) to liven it up.

Let me know how you like it.
