Barbecue Sauce

I love grilled food and I love barbecue sauce.  Every bottled kind I've found has a lot of sodium in it.  So, I started looking for a suitable homemade sauce that wouldn't take all day to make and that would taste good.  I tried 3 different sauces before finding one that I really liked that wasn't very hard to make. 

The first sauce I tried was way too sweet.  The second one tasted too vinegary and the third one was just right.  (Sounds like Goldilocks).  I'm not saying that I won't try other recipes in the future if I find one that looks good,  but this one is my favorite for now.

BBQ Sauce
1 cup no salt added ketchup
2 tbsp packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp low sodium Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp liquid smoke 

Stir all ingredients together in a saucepan on medium high heat.  When the mixture begins to boil, reduce heat and simmer on medium low for about 20 minutes to thicken.  4 servings and so each serving is approximately 1/4 cup.
