Firehouse BBQ Sauce

By: LAURAL840

"This recipe has been passed down by word of mouth in our fire station for years! It is fabulous and you can control how hot it is by how much red pepper you add. Please note that the longer it sits, the hotter it gets! Great on chicken, pork, and just about anything you can think of. Try it on a cracker with a slice of cheese!"

Original Recipe Yield 8 1/2 cups

Ingredients

1 (46 fluid ounce) bottle ketchup
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons red pepper flakes, or to taste

Directions

Pour ketchup into a large saucepan. Pour vinegar into the ketchup bottle, shake to loosen any remaining ketchup, and pour into the saucepan. Save the bottle, and clean. Stir in the brown sugar, butter, and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat until almost boiling, but do not boil. For convenience, refrigerate leftover sauce in the clean ketchup bottle.
