Apple City Barbecue Sauce

• 1 cup ketchup (I use Hunt's)
• 2/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• cider
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp. prepared yellow mustard
• 3/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. ground white pepper
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne
• 1/3 cup bacon bits, ground in a spice grinder
• 1/3 cup peeled and grated apple
• 1/3 cup grated onion
• 2 tsp. grated green bell pepper

1. Combine the ketchup, rice vinegar, apple juice or cider, cider vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, white pepper, cayenne, and bacon bits in a large saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Stir in the apple, onion, and bell pepper.
4. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 to 15 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
5. Stir it often.
6. Allow to cool, then pour into sterilized glass bottles.
7. A glass jar that used to contain mayonnaise or juice works real well.
8. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
