 This was in The Detroit Free Press about 15 years ago and I made it. It is everything they promised which is to be The BEST BBQ sauce you've ever tasted! (Just do me a favor and please make it exactly as the recipe says the first time to give it a fair try. Then doctor it up as you please the next time. Sometimes we're so used to using a squeeze of lemon or skipping the garlic or whatever with everything we make, we don't realize our food starts to taste the same!) Big Mama Barbecue Sauce * 1 c. Tomato sauce 
 * 4 c. Catsup
 * 1/2 c. Vinegar
 * 1/2 c. Margarine or butter
 * 1 c. Water
 * 1 tsp Liquid smoke (Wrights tastes better than Colsons in my opinion)
 * 1 c. Maple syrup or corn syrup (or 1/2 & 1/2 since pure maple is expensive)
 * 2 tsp Hot sauce (Frank's Louisiana Red Hot sauce is my favorite or use tabasco)
 * 1 tsp Garlic powder
 * 1 tsp Onion powder
 * 1 Tbsp. Sugar
 * 1/2 c. Steak sauce
 * 2 Tbsp. Seasoned salt
 * 1 c. Cola
 * 1/4 c. Soy sauce
 * 1 tsp Red pepper, optionalDirections 1. Mix well in large pot. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to avoid scorching. Reduce heat and simmer one hour. 
 2. Makes 2 qts.
 3. Note: You'll never go back to bottled after you've tasted this! You may can this after simmering, and it will also keep well in the refrigerator.
