ANOTHER GREAT BBQ SAUCE

Here's another sauce for you BBQ nuts... This one is different from the "regular" sauce I cook/use, most notably that it does not use tomato paste or beer, and that it uses mustard as a key ingredient. I haven't got a disctinctive name for the sauce yet. For now, it's just "Radioguy's BBQ Sauce with Mustard."

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon gound thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon gound black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon ground oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt or salt substitute
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 cup blackstrap molasses
• 1/2 cup yellow mustard
• 1/2 cup dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preparation

Combine dry ingredients in a food processor and mix/grind until the mixture obtains an even consistency (ground pretty fine), then place dry mixture into a medium-sized saucepan. Add the wet ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionly (so as the molasses and sugar don't burn the bottom of the saucepan). Pour into a glass jar (I use an empty 16 oz. beer bottle with a ceramic stopper).

This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three months. It is great with chicken, hot dogs, ham, etc.
