Steps:
- Combine the meat drippings, ketchup, vinegar, bacon fat, hot sauce, and liquid smoke with ½ cup water in a large pot.
- Slowly bring to a boil over medium heat; decrease heat to med-low and let the sauce simmer gently until richly flavored and slightly reduced, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate, covered, until serving; will keep for 3 days.
- Bring to room temperature or warm before using.
- Variation-to approximate the flavor that comes from pit smoking, there is liquid smoke in the recipe; as an alternative, you can put the pot in your smoker and cook it for several hours in the presence of hickory smoke.

SPRING HILL RANCH CENTRAL TEXAS BARBECUE SAUCE
If you spend much time in Texas, you will no doubt note that there is a great BBQ shack every quarter mile or so along the wonderful intra-state Texas highways. Of the many sauces around the state, this one is from the Hill Country of central Texas where beef and lamb are kings of the slow-smoking barbecue pit. Influenced by the hearty German pioneers of the area, this is a sweet, very savory tomato-based sauce. It adds a wonderful complexity to barbecued beef brisket and beef ribs and even lamb shanks. The sauce keeps well covered and refrigerated for at least a week.

Steps:
- In medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and stir until it is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice chipotles, cayenne, salt, pepper and liquid smoke (if using). Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it has reduced to about the recipe amount and thickened slightly, about 15 to 30 minutes.
