Charlie's Sweet 'n Spicy BBQ Sauce

• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 6 ounces tomato paste
• 12 cup molasses
• 12 cup apple cider vinegar
• 14 cup Dijon mustard
• 12 teaspoon dry mustard
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 cloves finely minced garlic
• 14 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
• 14 teaspoon cholula hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• kosher salt & fresh ground pepper

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a wire whisk.
2. Marinate meat in the BBQ sauce for several hours in refrigerator.
3. Grill as desired, using brush to add more sauce, as the sauce on the meat caramelizes.
4. ***Do not store BBQ sauce in a stainless steel container.
5. The acid in tomato sauce corrodes stainless steel, causing damage to metal finish and leaching metallic compounds into the food.
6. I suggest a glass jar, but plastic will do.
