Basic Barbecue Sauce

Since coming to China I've developed my own recipe for BBQ sauce.
I can't remember the exact amount of money for a bottle here, but like everything it is 3-4 times the cost of what I'd pay in the States.

1 bottle ketchup (I started buying the squeezable kind cause Colin broke the last bottle of ketchup I bought)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
fresh ground pepper
dash of paprika
few dashes of liquid smoke

Add all ingredients together. Heat over medium heat until all ingredients have dissolved. Simmer for 5 minutes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

This barbecue sauce makes an excellent base for shredded barbecue chicken. Or you can saute 2 slices of bacon and 1/2 onion first. Then add the remaining ingredients to make a great sauce to add to cooked beans to make your own barbecue beans.
