Rib-a-licious!

Ribs are deliciousness any way you eat them, but I was getting tired of all the bottled barbecue sauces on the market. They all have hickory or some smoke flavor added to them. I like my ribs without that smokiness added to them so Patrick came up with this fantastic sauce. It's just pure sweetness, no smoke and it is fabulous!

Ingredients

1 cup ketchup
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup sugar
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp onion powder
1 T garlic powder
1 T. olive oil

A note about the ingredients--we prefer Heinz ketchup and nothing else is ever used in our house.

1. Add olive oil to a pan and heat to smoking.

2. Add onions and garlic and cook until translucent.

3. Add ketchup and stir. Watch it so it doesn't burn.

4. Reduce heat. Add all the rest of the ingredients and keep stirring.

5. Heat on low for 5-6 minutes so flavors blend.

6. Allow to cool completely.

7. Blend in a blender or food processor to make sauce smooth....Enjoy!
