KC Style BBQ Sauce

BBQ sauce in Kansas City has become almost synonymous with the word masterpiece. Most of the really great sauces I have consumed were in the smaller joints, and are a little less heavy and a little more lively. This Two Guys Grilling© KC BBQ Sauce (yields 4 cups) is one example:

In saucepan, Melt Butter and add:
1 Stick Butter
3/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1 1/2 Cup Ketchup
1 Cup Pineapple Juice
1/4 Cup Chili Sauce
1 Tbs Soy Sauce - the good stuff
4 Cloves Fresh Garlic, Minced fine
1/4 Cup Molasses
Bring to simmer, simmer low 10 minutes, add:
The Dana Point Trinity©
1 Tsp TGG© Mediterranean Sea Salt
1 Tsp TGG© Fine Ground White Pepper
2 Tbs TGG© Granulated Onion
1 1/2 Tbs Garlic
1/2 Tbs Dry Mustard
1 Tbs TGG© Pasilla Molido
1/2 Tbs TGG© Guajillo Molido
1/2 Tsp TGG© Chipotle Molido
1/4 Cup Dry Minced Onion
Whisk in thoroughly
Simmer low, covered, stirring occasionally 30 to 45 minutes
Adjust flavor as needed
Remove from heat

You might need to add a little more pineapple juice as KC BBQ Sauce simmers and reduces. Worcestershire Sauce is optional, however, I prefer to save it for other uses. This is a fairly complex recipe, double or triple it to have some for leftovers.
