by Eileen Clifford (Westlake Village, California)

quantity	ingredient
12 oz.	Catsup
12 oz.	Chili sauce
1 cup	brown sugar (add more to taste)
to taste	onion (fresh minced) or onion powder
1 tablesoon	honey or molasses (add more to taste)
to taste	salt
to taste	black pepper (fresh ground)

In a large sauce pan over medium heat, combine catsup, chili sauce, and brown sugar. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes over medium heat.
Add onion (or onion powder), honey (or molasses), salt, and pepper to taste. Also add more brown sugar (if desired). Let simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes.

Notes:

Just the catsup, chili sauce, and brown sugar makes a nice basic barbeque sauce that can be used as a base for other sauces.
The longer the simmering, the thicker the sauce.
Eileen and family use Heinz catsup and chili sauce because the bottles come in the right amounts. 1 bottle Heinz catsup = 12 oz. 1 bottle Heinz chili sauce = 12 oz.
Onion and honey added later to recipie by daughter Cherie.
