1/4 cup molasses
1 cup catsup
6 tablespoons vinegar
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
4 teaspoons liquid smoke
1/4 teaspoon onion powder or 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Pour half of wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring to mix well.
Add remaining half of wet ingredients, stir to mix well, and simmer mixture, uncovered, for about 10-20 minutes to thicken sauce a bit.
While mixture is gently boiling, pour in slurry while stirring.
Return mixture to a slow boil and cook until sauce thickens a little.
Sauce should be thick enough to cling to ribs, yet pourable.
Cool sauce and store in air-tight glass or plastic container.
Refrigerated it keeps indefinitely.
