Categories: Sauces, Barbecue, Spicy, Hot, Tabasco
Yield: 1 servings

2 Tbsp Butter Or Margarine
1 cup Chopped Onion
1/2 cup Chopped Celery With Leaves
1/4 cup Chopped Green Pepper
1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
29 oz Canned Whole Tomatoes,
- Drained And Coarsely
- Chopped
6 oz Tomato Paste
1/3 cup Red Wine Vinegar
3 Tbsp Molasses
2 Lemon Slices
2 tsp Tabasco Pepper Sauce
2 tsp Dry Mustard
1 Bay Leaf
1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
1/2 tsp Ground Allspice

In a heavy non aluminum saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter
and saute the onion, celery, pepper, and garlic for 5 minutes, or
until the onion is tender but not browned. Add the remaining
ingredients. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, until the sauce
thickens, stirring occasionally. Discard the lemon slices and bay
leaf. Brush the sauce on chicken, ribs, frankfurters, or hamburgers
during grilling, broiling, or baking. Makes 2-1/4 cup.

This classic spicy barbecue sauce has a mellow, rich flavor that is
marvelous with just about anything you'd care to grill. Serve
additional sauce on the side.
