1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon dark molasses
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (I use Tobasco)
Mix the ingredients.
For items that take a while to cook, don't put the sauce on until it is almost done. If you put it on too early, or if the fire is too hot, the vegan sugar and molasses will burn, and that's how you get that unpleasant charcoaly taste.'
