Finger-Lickin' Knuckle-Suckin' Chin-Drippin' Good Bbq Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 cups ketchup
8 cups water
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
8 tablespoons dry mustard
4 dried chilies, crushed
1 head garlic, minced
2 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed

Preparation

Mix and cook in a large roaster pan in oven at 325 degrees for several hours until thickened to your liking.
Hot pack into pint jars; seal with hot lids and rings.
Set jars upside-down on a thick towel for 15 minutes (set the timer); then put right-side up.
As the jars cool, you'll hear some *kitchen music* which means they've sealed nicely.
Store in a cool dark cellar or cupboard.
NOTE: This is the base for my chicken barbecue sauce recipe which calls for 1/2 cup bbq sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce--to DIE FOR!
