This stuff is awesome! I do put it in the processor after cooking to puree the onions and garlic, half the liquid smoke, otherwise didn't change a thing. Only one hint....MAKE EXTRA!!!

I really love this recipe. It is easy to make - all-in around 45 minutes and most of that time I was spent watching TV :-). It obviously is heavily biased towards the Tomato taste, but delicious none-the-less. I sieved it to get a smooth finish but this took a wee while. I don't use this for Marinades etc for the BBQ, but more of a great condiment to replace the you get in the supermarket. It goes great with virtually I eat. Steak and Chips yummy. I had to adapt it slightly to the New Zealand items which are available. For the Kiwis reading : the Tomato Ketchup was tins of Watties, liquid smoke I used was 100% Natural Manuka Smoke Concentrate - about 4 sprays but will probably play with the amount when I make it next, Tomato paste was a tubed concentrate bought from the supermarket. The Bourbon was just a really cheap version from Liquor King as it was quite expensive to buy the quality stuff. Other reviews pointed out that it didn't really matter, so I figured try the cheapest first and head North if things turn out good. Which they did, so try it!

Made exactly as stated... Unbelivably good. Used it for pulled pork and my family all raved about how good it was. Not an easy task to make something that all 4 are happy with. This is a keeper:) thanks

I love this sauce and have made it many times. If I'm in a hurry I use 1/2 Tbs powdered garlic and 1 Tbs powered onion instead of the fresh. Then all you have to do is throw everying in the pot, no chopping or straining. If you like less tomato flavor omit the tomato paste. This is a great sauce even when you "cheat".

Since the very first time I tried it... I fell in love with it :-). I replace 1 cup of ketchup by 1 cup of Chili

Made this sauce last year for Father's day. I canned half and used half after letting it sit a couple of days. The half I used after a couple of days had a strong vinegar/katchup flavor. It was ok, but I and my family weren't impressed. The half I canned, I forgot about until this last January when I was making pulled pork. I forgot to make sauce so pulled this out and uncorked it. All I have to say is, this is some of the best sauce I've ever had, hands down. If you make this, have patience and let it mellow. You will be very happy.

Well the BBQ flavor probably would have been good, except the whiskey overpowered it. Maybe I used the wrong brand. I'll try without it next time and see.

This is fabulous- as is, as well I added just a bit of molasses. As far as chunks go- I loved the garlic and bits of onion; however my boys enjoy the flavor and not the texture (we run into this problem w/fresh salsas as well) So- after cooking approx 45 mins on low- put all of sauce into a blender and blended till smooth. Made a really nice thick sauce w/fabulous flavor- just w/o the chunks! Thank you for sharing this recipe- we are planning to make large batches and to share w/friends and neighbors ;)
