"Q" Sauce

Here is the recipe for smoky "Q" Sauce, as mentioned in Nosheteria. This makes a relatively large amount of sauce, but it can be stored, refrigerated, for up to six months. Stored in mason jars, it is also the perfect gift for your barbecuing friends.

46 ounces tomato catsup
2- 12 ounce cans tomato paste
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons dried mustard
2 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons dried ginger
2 bay leaves
3 teaspoons garlic granules
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
juice of 1 lemon

Mix all ingredients together, and simmer for 30 minutes. Pour sauce in clean mason jars, if desired, and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
