Barbecue Sauce

Blend smooth or mix thoroughly: 

2        six ounces cans tomato paste
1-1/4 cups water
1/2     cup molasses
1        tsp. salt
1-1/4  tsp. onion powder
1/2     tsp. garlic powder
1/8     tsp. paprika
2-1/2  Tbsp. brown sugar
3         Tbsp. Braggs or soy sauce
2         Tbsp. lemon juice
1-1/4   tsp. liquid smoke

Yield: 1 quart. I put it in small containers in the freezer and thaw as needed.

I use this barbecue sauce in place of ketchup--on burgers, on homemade fries, hash browns, hot dogs, etc.
