Ingredients
- 8 cups Applesauce
- 6 cups Brown Sugar
- 32 ounces, fluid Tomato Sauce
- 1-½ cup Vinegar
- 4 teaspoons Salt
- 4 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 3 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons Liquid Smoke
- 2 teaspoons Chili Powder
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (optional)
- ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
- ¼ teaspoons Ground Cloves
Preparation Instructions
Mix all ingredients together in a large stock pot. Bring to a boil, simmer for 1 1/2 – 2 hours or until thickened. It smells wonderful!
Fill sterilized pint jars with the hot BBQ sauce, leaving 1/2-inch head space. Process 20 minutes in a hot water bath. Be sure to add 5 minutes for each 1,000 feet elevation. I have to process mine for 25 minutes because we live at about 1,600 feet.
Yields 6-7 pints.
Note: I prepare my own applesauce by simmering quartered apples until tender and putting them through an old-fashioned food sieve. If you have tomatoes to put up as well, you could make your own tomato sauce.
