Ingredients
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 teaspoons hickory-flavored liquid smoke
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1
Combine ketchup, tomato sauce, brown sugar, wine vinegar, molasses, and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
2
As the mixture begins to warm up, add liquid smoke and stir well to incorporate.
3
Next, sprinkle salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, celery seed, cayenne, chili powder, and cinnamon over the saucepan.
4
Gradually reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for up to 20 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
5
If you prefer a thicker sauce, continue to simmer for longer; conversely, if you desire a thinner sauce, reduce the cooking time accordingly.

To achieve your desired level of thickness, you can also add a small amount of water to the saucepan if necessary.
