Grilling season is upon us

With a few very nice days in a row here in the Pacific Northwest I thought a summer style post was in order. BBQ Sauce, know it love it and learn how to make it. I pulled this recipe from this site, but it is pretty much how I have been making mine whenever I get around to making it.

Basic Tomato BBQ Sauce

1 regular can of tomato sauce
1 can of tomato paste
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, crushed
4 tablespoons onion, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon cayenne
fresh ground pepper to taste

I also add liquid smoke, and the vinegar that I use is Aceto Balsamico from Sotto Voce. The spice of the vinegar really livens up the BBQ and I think it tastes fantastic on Chicken. Also a note on chopping the onion, you don't want to be able to distinguish that this is onion when you are done so get a sharper damn knife.
