  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      cup           ketchup
   1      cup           red wine vinegar
     1/2  cup           brown sugar
     1/4  cup           molasses
   1 1/2  teaspoons     liquid smoke
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
     1/4  teaspoon      black pepper
     1/4  teaspoon      garlic powder
     1/4  teaspoon      onion powder

Preparation:

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan over high heat, and whisk until smooth. 2. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Use on pork spareribs -- as cooked with the method from the book Top Secret Restaurant Recipes -- or any of your beef, pork or chicken recipes. This sweet, smoky sauce is great on pork spareribs cooked with the technique found on page 298 of the book, or you can use it on a recipe of your own that includes pork or beef ribs, even chicken. Now Tony Roma's sells each of its four barbecue sauces at the restaurant chain, separately, or in gift sets of four. But if you don't have a Tony Roma's near you, this is the only way to get that one-of-a-kind barbecue taste at home. Makes 1 1/2 cu
