Course Sauce

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can tomato puree (29 oz)
  • 1/3 cup prepared yellow mustard
  • 3 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp dry mustard
  • 1 Tbsp paprika
  • 2 tsp ground red pepper
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Hot sauce to taste

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together tomato puree and mustard in a large non-aluminum saucepan until smooth. Stir in water, vinegar, corn syrup, lemon juice, sugars, chili powder, dry mustard, paprika, red pepper, onion powder, salt, black pepper, hot sauce and garlic powder. Simmer, stirring 30 minutes.
  • Sauce can be refrigerated up to several weeks. It can be used to marinate or baste grilled meats, or it can be served as a condiment. Enjoy!
  • Note: Be careful if using sauce on the grill, as too much or too high a temperature will cause sauce to burn. If using as a marinade, do not let sauce that touched raw meat be used as a condiment, as it will have juices from the raw meat in it.
