Home-Canned Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients

• 50 to 70 lb tomatoes
• 25 onions ground
• 2 bottles liquid smoke more if desired
• 8 Tbsp salt
• 40 oz molasses
• 44 oz honey
• 3 c Yoshidas Gourmet Sauce
• 20 tsp dry mustard
• 3 Tbsp chili powder
• 32 oz Worcestershire sauce
• 7 Tbsp garlic powder
• 14 Tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp cayenne
• 4 c brown sugar
• 32 oz tomato paste

Directions

1. Blanch peel quarter and de-seed tomatoes
2. Combine all ingredients
3. Cook down FOREVER Now for the weird part it seems to work best if I put the hot sauce through a blender and bring back to canning temperature
4. But be so careful - the hot sauce is much more likely to end up on the floor ceiling cupboards face etc Its well worth the effort as it comes out much smoother
5. Put through water bath for 40 minutes
6. Yields approximately 24 quarts Thats a lot but since it takes so much time and energy to make itll last a couple years at least
