I really get tired of paying so much money for BBQ sauce that is; well...generic in flavor! I have played with making my own for years and I actually wrote this one down... it really is very tasty and can be adapted easily to ingredients on hand. Now that is the kind of recipe I appreciate!

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter

2 large onions, chopped

6 -10 garlic cloves, minced (to taste)

2 cups celery, chopped finely

1/2 cup white vinegar

2 cups strong black coffee

2 (5 1/2 ounce) cans tomato paste

1/4 cup worcestershire sauce

1 cup grape jelly

1/4 cup molasses

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon celery salt

2 teaspoons keen's dry mustard

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon allspice

1 cup dark brown sugar

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup saskatoon cider, concentrate

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon hickory flavoring (optional)

Directions:

1. Saute finely chopped onions and celery, with crushed garlic in butter (add as much onion and garlic as your tastebuds desire) in a medium sauce pan.
2. Add remaining ingredients mixing carefully, cook at medium temp stirring occasionally for 30 min and simmer untill desired thickness achieved. If desired run the hand blender through at the end to get a more smooth consistiency.
