Kansas City Barbecue Sauce image

Martha's take on this classic BBQ sauce has a lengthy ingredient list including apple cider vinegar, molasses, and ketchup. Each element adds to the sweetness and complexity of the sauce. And it's quick to make; a few minutes on the stovetop, then it's blended and ready to be used for your favorite ribs.
