"Mutha" Sauce

(from Dinosaur Bar-B-Que: An American Roadhouse)

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup minced onion
1/2 cup minced green pepper
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper
2 Tbs. garlic, minced
1 large can (28 oz.) tomato sauce
2 cups ketchup
1 cup water
3/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup cayenne pepper sauce (Tabasco)
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 Tbs. chili powder
2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1 Tbs. Liquid Smoke (optional)

Pour the oil into a large saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions, green peppers, and jalapeno, and cook until soft and golden. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Dump in everything else except the Liquid Smoke. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat so the sauce simmers. Simmer for 10 minutes. Swirl in the Liquid Smoke and let the sauce cool. Pour it into a container, cover, and store in the fridge until ready to use.

This is the barbeque sauce that David used. Great on Dave's pulled pork. Straight from the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que cookbook.
