Barbecue Sauce
Susan Priestman of Pickering sent her mother's barbecue sauce recipe, a spicy version good with chicken and ribs. Maureen Birtles-Paton of Brampton sent in a recipe with similar flavourings, but using 1/2 to 3/4 cup ketchup instead of the tomato soup and water; she simmers it just 5 to 8 minutes.
1 medium onion, chopped
10 oz (284 mL) can tomato soup
1 cup water
3 tbsp each: vinegar, Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp each: salt, paprika, chili powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Pinch ground cloves
In saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Cool and pour into a clean jar. Refrigerate.
Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
