Sauce: Bar B Que

By fsilver4

I do believe this sauce will make the very best barbeque this side of the dixie line.

Ingredients

• 2 slices of plain bacon wrapped around 1 large bunch of thyme and then tied with cooking string
• 1 whole onion, chopped
• 4 chopped cloves of garlic
• 4 cups ketsup
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 4 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons dry mustard
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons plain or smoked paprika

Preparation

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons or so of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, and saute the bacon wrapped thyme to render as much fat as possible...about 3 or 4 minutes.

Add onion and garlic and cook slowly for about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and stir and then turn down the heat to low and cook slowly for about 20 minutes. Put in a mason jar and only give it to your favorite people.
