Kansas BBQ Sauce


Makes 4-cups of sauce

1/2 cup  oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 tsp    minced garlic
1 bottle (16-oz) catsup
2 Tbsp   cider vinegar
1/2 cup  molasses
2 tsp    hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup  prepared yellow mustard
1/4 cup  fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup  firmly packed, dark brown sugar
4 Tbsp   worchestershire sauce
1 tsp    liquid smoke flavouring

In a large, *non-aluminum* saucepan, add the oil and saute onion, green 
pepper and garlic, until soft (about 10 minutes).  Add the remaining ingredients 
and simmer for about 20-30 minutes.  Stir frequently so that the sauce doesn't 
burn.  Let the sauce rest for at 24 hours in the refrigerator to allow the flavors
to meld.  Liquid smoke flavouring recreates the flavour of the authentic pit
barbeque.  Excellent for chicken!
