Anyone have a good recipe for a thick BBQ sauce - spicy or mild?

Hi, Gus.   Sorry to be so slow to answer.   Here's a link to a recipe for a KC style barbecue sauce based on tomato, ketchup white vinegar and molasses.   My wife and I tried it once.  It thickened up nicely, and tasted very good after the flavors melded.

It may seem like I'm rubbing salt in the wound, but the truth is I'm trying to cure it.

In fact, I can also recommend this recipe as my personal favourite KC style.  I've tweaked it a bit, I do normally double the onion and garlic, and I use cider vinegar.  Normal Heinz ketchup and whatever tomato paste I happen to have.  I also make sure to simmer it for at least 1 1/2 hours to get it nice and thick otherwise it's just too runny.   Your first instinct may be to NOT add all that water....  but trust me, it seems to be necessary and when I've tried to shortcut the thickening by not adding it, the sauce just isn't the same.  It reduces down nicely and it all comes together in the fridge overnight.

Good luck!
