  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      tablespoons   balsamic vinegar
   8      ounces        tomato sauce
   4      tablespoons   brown sugar
   1      teaspoon      onion powder
   2      tablespoons   Green McIlhenny Tabasco Sauce
                         -- (This is essential)
   1      tablespoon    Worcestershire
   1      pinch         allspice
   1      pinch         powdered clove

Preparation:

Try this as a starter for BBQ Sauce, or with French fries or meatloaf: Stir vigorously in a jar, then microwave till it bubbles thoroughly (4 min.?). Stir well, cool, stir, put the lid on, refrigerate. Mom's kitchen tip: Ketchups (like mayonnaise) are colloidal suspensions. If you want the stuff up near the neck of the jar, jerk it a couple - three times towards the neck and it will pile up there handy where is easier to get at.
