F-16 Afterburner Hot Sauce

• 4 cup ketchup
• 1 1/2 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 2 Tbsp Tabasco
• 3 Tbsp Worcestershire
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 3 cloves chopped garlic
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1-3 tsp cayenne
• 3 Tbsp dry mustard (or 1 Tbsp ginger)
• 1-3 cups water

Mix everything in a large, heavy saucepan. Add water as needed to create a sauce with a cream-like texture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, partially cover and simmer VERY GENTLY for 1 hour. Stir frequently. Add water if it gets too thick. This sauce freezes well in mason jars. Use as a base flavoring for chili, sloppy joes, dip for wings or barbecue sauce. It is easily modified to accommodate individual heat preferences.
