This is a classic recipe for a typical American Barbecue sauce which is very versatile and makes a wonderful marinade for meat or can be thickened and served as a table sauce.

Ingredients:

250ml chilli sauce
250ml ketchup
60ml steak sauce
1 tbsp tamarind paste
1 tbsp minced garlic
50g finely-grated fresh horseradish
3 tbsp mustard powder
1 tbsp Tabasco sauce
1 tbsp molasses (treacle)
1 tbsp Jalapeno-based salsa (or any hot chilli and tomato paste)
1 tbsp red wine vinegar

Method:

Making this barbecue sauce is simplicity itself. Simply add all the ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and whisk until thoroughly blended. Adjust the seasoning and use.

If you want a thicker sauce (for example, to use as a pizza topping) then add the finished sauce to a pan and simmer gently for 20 minutes then take off the heat and allow to cool before using.
