AUNT ROSIE'S BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir ketchup, brown sugar, water, and dry onion soup mix together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring regularly, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.

AUNT BO'S COMFORT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the vodka, sugar, strawberries, and vanilla bean in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Please note: If you are using vanilla extract instead of a vanilla bean, then reserve this ingredient until the end.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally. The strawberries will begin to break down. If you are using the vanilla extract, you would add it about now, right before the syrup begins to thicken.
• When it becomes a thick syrup, remove from heat and allow to cool before serving. It can be served warm, but I don't recommend serving it straight from the stove unless it's over ice cream.
• Optional: Aunt Bo always uses fresh strawberries but you could get away with using frozen strawberries or any other berry you enjoy, fresh or frozen. I have done this with frozen mixed berries, blackberries, and cherries with equally delicious results.

RUBY'S BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and jalapenos and cook over medium heat until onions are soft and transparent, about 5 minutes. Add salt, dry mustard, black pepper, cayenne, and garlic salt. Stir to combine and then mix in the brown sugar. Add the cider vinegar, ketchup, molasses, Worcestershire, and water and whisk all together until thoroughly combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 to 35 minutes, whisking every few minutes to prevent sauce from burning and sticking to bottom. Strain sauce to remove onions and jalapenos before serving.
