"Better than bought" homemade barbecue sauce

Out of desperation for a last-minute meal, I made my own barbecue sauce last week. Kenneth actually said it's better than any bottled that he's ever tasted. Making meals stretch these days are a necessity, so I tried the sauce on a turkey breast that I roasted a couple nights ago. It was really good, and I'm normally a pretty big fan of my own cooking anyway.

Easiest way to do it is right in the squeeze ketchup bottle when only about a 1/4 of ketchup bottle is left. Use a funnel & add 1/4 c. packed brown sugar, 4 cap-fulls of liquid smoke, 4 tsp. soy sauce, 3 tbsp. Worchestershire, 3-4 shakes hot sauce, 1 tsp. minced garlic. Close the top tightly and let your kid shake it for a minute. Baste with it, use it as a dip or in the crockpot. The flavors taste their best once the flavors meld overnight, but is still absolutely yummy straight out of the squeeze bottle.




Kept in a container with a tight-fitting lid, the sauce will keep indefinitely.
