Labor day weekend is one of the few holidays during the year that allows for an enjoyable three day weekend with your close friends and family. It is a day of rest from the mundane duties of your job and a day to play outside and of course barbecue before the fall wind picks up.

Hamburgers, hot dogs, and of course ribs and chicken are a must on the menu and must be grilled to perfection. Why not try spicing things up a bit with some homemade smoky-hot barbecue sauce. It will get your taste buds going and leave you craving for more.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
