Mom's BBQ Sauce (aka Copycat Sweet Baby Rays)

---

Mom says: This recipe came to me as a copycat version of our family favorite BBQ sauce - Sweet Baby Rays. I say its even better, because when you make it homemade you add an additional ingredient -- LOVE. 

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups ketchup
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 1/2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (this is optional - I leave it out)
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

1/8 cold water mixed with 1 tbsp corn starch (optional - I do add this because I like my sauce thick)

Combine all the ingredients in a sauce pan except for the final cold water/cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer for five minutes so that the sugar is dissolved.  

If you like a thicker sauce ( like me) add the cornstarch slurry. Simmer while it thickens, but watch it carefully as it will thicken very fast.  

Store in a sealed jar in the fridge. 

Enjoy!
