In a bowl, combine vinegar and water

Stir in salt, pep- per, paprika, brown sugar, molasses, and dry mustard

Set aside to steep

Combine catsup, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion, and butter in medi- um saucepan

Raise to a boil over medium-low heat

Stir in vinegar/water mixture. Transfer to your outdoor cooker and simmer uncovered for 1 hour or so, stirring from time to time

If cooked indoors, simmer about 30 minutes

Serve hot with your favorite barbequed dishes. This sauce will keep well in the refrigerator

You can use it for oven barbecuing if you keep the temperature low (about 275F.), and cover the meat, but never use this sauce for outside barbecuing

It will char meat because it contains both sugar and tomatoes

Makes enough for 6 pounds of meat.
