Dad’s Own

This is a recipe I haven’t made in some time.
I will say that it is so damn tasty that you could eat a bowl of it with some decent crackers.
This stuff is awesome on hotdogs, burgers, pasta, potatoes and just about anything else you
can think of.
Just make sure you make enough!

____________________________________________________________________

Brown 3 minced onions, 3 minced celery stalks and 3 minced cloves of garlic
in 3 tbls of olive oil.
Add 2+ cups of crushed tomatoes (canned works fine) and cook for 5 minutes.
Add 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, 1/2 cup of cider vinegar, the juice of two lemons,
3 tbls dark brown sugar (or honey), 1 cup of Ketchup, 2 tbls prepared mustard,
2 tbls Worcestershire sauce, 1 1/2 tsp salt, pinch black pepper, cinnamon & cayenne pepper.
Simmer and stir until well blended.
About 20 minutes.

    First, love your blog and the concept, I have got to show my amazing cook/dad this. Second, you’ve got me convinced. Next time I make BBQ sauce, it will be yours. I LOVE me some good BBQ sauce, I will let you know how it turns out. Maybe I will put the Hawaiian version on a pizza . . . yum!

    I should bottle the stuff, to be honest.
    As my wife says below in the comments, this stuff is ridiculous on a Ritz cracker.
    Thanks so much for stopping by.

    I just love this sauce especially on Ritz crackers.
    I could eat it by the spoonful!

    What do you mean, ‘I could eat it by the spoonful’?
    You do eat it by the spoonful! :lol:
    I will make this very soon.
    Promise.
