You will need: 2 cups of ketchup ; cup white vinegar (apple cider vinegar can be used) ; cup of your favorite premium brand molasses, 1 tsp. seasoned salt (Lawry's brand recommended, plain salt can be used if seasoned salt is not available); 1 tsp. allspice, 1 tsp. chili powder, 1 tsp. paprika; 1 tsp. hot sauce; cup brown sugar; 1 tsp. mace (optional), 1 tsp. ground cumin, 1/4 tsp. ground white pepper (black pepper may be used instead).

Change your heat setting to medium low, and continue cooking until the sauce comes to a desired consistency. Remove the sauce from heat, and allow it to cool completely. You may then bottle the sauce, or serve it on your favorite meat! Try these simple steps, and homemade BBQ sauce will always be at your fingertips!
