1 c. Coca-Cola
1 c. ketchup
1/4 Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. liquid smoke
1/4 c. A.1. steak sauce
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. black pepper

Combine the ingredients in a heavy saucepan and gradually bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer the sauce until reduced by 1/4, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the sauce to clean jars and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until serving. The sauce will keep for several months, refrigerated.

Use as you would any sauce, noting the strong affinity this sauce has for chicken, ribs and pork.

Yield: 2 cups, 6 to 8 servings.
