Kelly’s BBQ Sauce
- about ¼ cup brown sugar or honey
- juice from 2 organic lemons
- 2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
- 1 24-ounce bottle organic ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 3 tablespoons tamari (fermented soy sauce)
- kosher or sea salt, to taste (do not use iodized salt)

Mix all the ingredients in a big mixing bowl, or use a stand mixer to make short work of it.
Taste, and add small amounts of whatever is needed until the taste suits you.

This makes a lot of sauce; you may want to halve the recipe.
Use glass jars to store the leftover sauce if possible. Plastic generally does not keep the sauce well since it is porous.
This is great on hot wings, too.
Gregg reconstituted about ¼ cup raisins in some of the vinegar and then blended it into a raisin paste, which he added to this recipe. It gave the sauce a much more “traditional steak sauce” type flavor and added some body. It tasted great on root beer barbecue beef sandwiches.
