Beef Shish Kabobs

Dang Good BBQ Sauce

3 cups ketchup

2 cups cider vinegar

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 cup light brown sugar

1/2 to 3/4 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 cup molasses or 1 cup if you don't have any dark brown sugar

2 tablespoons mustard powder

1/2 to 1 cup chili powder

1/2 tablespoon ginger

5 cloves of garlic chopped in large chunks

2 sliced lemons

1 Bring the vinegar up to a boil

2 then reduce to a simmer

3 add sugar, mustard, chili and ginger powders

4 add powders slowly to try and get as much into solution as possible

5 Once the powders have been blended into the vinegar immediately add the ketchup before too much vinegar evaporates

6 Once ketchup is mixed add the Worcestershire and soy sauces

7 Stir

8 Once all is mixed add the garlic cloves

9 Float the lemon slices on top of the sauce

10 Cover and simmer for at least 1 hour

11 The longer it simmers the smoother the sauce will be and the more the vinegar will mellow out so as to not be too overpowering

ENJOY!

MONTECILLO 2002

Montecillo 2002 is a red wine from Rioja Spain. Delicious and smooth the red wine is another great from Spain. Highly recommended in the same league with Marques de Riscal and Marques the Caceres.

CAMPO VIEJO 2004



Campo Viejo is a nice Tempranillo possibly better tasting than Penascal. It's from the Rioja vineyards in Spain.

PENASCAL 2004 TEMPRANILLO



This Tempranillo from Spain's Castilla and Leon is a great wine, goes good with cheese, pastas, and any meat especially steaks.

LAZO 2006


Another great wine from Chile, my favorite wine country, from the Central Valley, this one not as great as Gato Negro, but still worth the buy and taste.
