   2      large         onions -- chopped
   3      tablespoons   vegetable oil
   1      can           crushed tomatoes -- (28 oz)
   2      cans          tomatoes -- with juice (14 oz)
   1      cup           apple cider vinegar
   4      tablespoons   dark brown sugar
   1      tablespoon    salt
   1      tablespoon    black pepper
   2      tablespoons   paprika
   3      tablespoons   ground new Mexican red chile
   4      tablespoons   Barbados molasses

   1      tablespoon    Tabasco sauce

Preparation:

This is actually my variation of Chris Schlesinger's Basic All American BBQ Sauce from Thrill of The Grill. It is not a real sweet sauce like a Kansas City style. In a large pot, sauté the onion in oil until tender. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce to lowest possible heat and simmer uncovered for 4 hours. Puree in a food processor or blender. I use a hand held blender and puree it right in the pot
