   1      cup           ketchup
   1      cup           vinegar
     1/2  cup           dark corn syrup
   2      teaspoons     sugar
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
     1/4  teaspoon      garlic powder
     1/4  teaspoon      onion powder
     1/4  teaspoon      Tabasco

Preparation:

1. Combine all of the ingredients for the barbecue sauce in a saucepan over high heat. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth. 2. When the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered. 3. In 30 to 45 minutes, when the mixture thickens, remove it from the heat. If you want a thicker sauce, heat it longer. If you make the sauce too thick, thin it with more vinegar.
