I've been making this BBQ sauce for years and I finally wrote down the recipe at my oldest instance. This sauce is thin, somewhat sweet with a little kick at the end. I use this to marinade our ribs as well as for basting, dipping etc.

Ingredients

64 serv.

brown sugar↗1 cup
butter↗1⁄2 cup
water↗1⁄4 cup
tomato sauce↗15 ounces
Worcestershire sauce↗1 tablespoon
red wine vinegar↗1 tablespoon
garlic powder↗1 tablespoon
onion powder↗1 teaspoon
cayenne↗1⁄2 teaspoon
cumin↗1⁄2 teaspoon
oregano↗1⁄4 teaspoon
crushed red pepper flakes↗1⁄4 teaspoon
ground dry mustard1⁄4 teaspoon
salt↗1 pinch

Step-by-step instructions

1
in a medium sauce pan over medium heat mix butter, brown sugar and water. Bring to a boil stirring frequently. Boil to 250* not quite hard ball stage.
2
reduce heat to a simmer and add tomato sauce. The sugar mixture may seize depending on the temperature of the tomato sauce. That's fine, just stir until the sugar mixture dissolves.
3
add the rest of the ingredients and let simmer 10-20min stirring occasionally. Flavors will develop as it sits.
4
If you want a thicker sauce cook the butter and sugar longer, but keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn. It'll thicken up in the fridge.
5
Refrigerate till ready to use, will keep several weeks in the fridge.
6
I usually make large batches of this and can it.
7
Serving size is 2 tbls and this makes approximately 2 pints. or 4 cups.
