Number Of Ingredients 15

28 OZ CAN LA ROMANELLA MARINARA SAUCE
2 - 6 OZ CANS OF TOMATO PASTE
LARGE DICED RED ONION ( 1 LB + )
2 CUPS SUNMAID RAISINS
1/2 CUP CLOVER HONEY MOLASSES ( 12 OZ GRANDMAS MOLASSES AND 24 OUNCE CLOVER HONEY MIXED THEN MEASURED )
3 TBSP DALES HERB BASE
3 TBSP BEEFMAN CHILI POWDER
1 1/2 TO 2 CUP BROWN SUGAR ( MORE IF YOU WANT IT SWEETER )
4 CUP APPLE JUICE
1/4 CUP WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE
1/8 CUP SOY SAUCE
10 OZ A1 STEAK SAUCE
12 OZ BOTTLE BEAVERS SWEET HOT MUSTARD
1/3 LB BUTTER
2-3 TSP LIQUID SMOKE ( MORE IF YOU LIKE,, ADD ONLY 1 TSP AT A TIME, MIX IN AND WAIT )

Steps:

PREPARE ALL ABOVE .. AND ADD INTO A LARGE CROCK POT ( 4 QUART OR LARGER ) TURN CROCK POT ON HIGH AFTER YOU ADD IN THE MARINARA SAUCE ADD IN REMAINING INGREDIENTS EXCEPT FOR LIQUID SMOKE MIX WELL AND LET IT COME UP TO TEMP. REDUCE TO LOW AND ADD IN 1 TSP OF LIQUID SMOKE,, MIX IN LET SIMMER FOR 30 MINUTES AND TASTE,, ADD IN ANOTHER TSP AND LET SIMMER FOR 30 MINUTES THEN TASTE AGAIN,,, CONTINUE ON TILL YOU GET THE SMOKY TASTE YOU PREFER. ONCE THE SAUCE IS HOT USE A HAND HELD BLENDER WITH THE CHOPPING BLADE, CHOP UNTIL THE RAISINS AND ONIONS ARE BLENDED INTO A SMOOTH PASTE WITH THE REST OF THE SAUCE. NOTE: THE SMOKY TASTE WILL CHANGE OVER TIME, MY EXPERIENCE IS 30 MINUTES IS A GOOD REFERENCE POINT TO MAKE A DECISION ON HOW MUCH LIQUID SMOKE TO ADD. ALSO THIS RECIPE TAKES 3 TO 5 HOURS TO SIMMER / COOK IN A CROCK POT,,BE RELAXED AND YOU DONT HAVE TO BABY SIT IT..
