Barbecue Sauce - Thick And Spicy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup prepared mustard
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 beef bouillon cube
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 tablespoons dried onion, minced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 bay leaf

Preparation

Place all ingredients in a pot in order of list, stir with a whisk to blend, bring to a simmer and simmer very slowly for about an hour to an hour and a half. Watch carefully and stir so not to scorch the bottom. A slow cooker is perfect. I suggest serving warm, it is a thick sauce.
You can taste this at any time but before making adjustments I recommend simmering for an hour before making adjustments to allow all the flavors to blend, you will not get the true finished flavor after just 5 minutes.
If it is not sweet enough add more sugar, for thinner sauce add more broth, beer or water. Don't want little chunks of onion then sub a teaspoon or so of onion powder.
This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, etc. for bigger batches, I quadrupled it for the BBQ stand.
This stores nicely in the refridgerator.
