Kansas City Style BBQ Sauce

This is a Kansas City style sauce that I came
up with on one of our family get togethers.
It is sweet and smoky with a little bite.

Ingredients:
2 cups ketchup
2 cups tomato sauce
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 1/4 cups red wine vinegar
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
4 teaspoons liquid smoke
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Directions:
In a large saucepan over medium heat,
mix together the ketchup, tomato sauce,
brown sugar, wine vinegar, molasses,
liquid smoke and butter.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder,
chili powder, paprika, celery seed,
cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper.
Reduce heat to low, and
simmer for up to 20 minutes.
For thicker sauce, simmer longer,
and for thinner, less time is needed.
Sauce can also be thinned using a
bit of water if necessary.
Brush sauce onto any kind of meat
during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
