Categories: Bbq sauces, Bar-b-q, Mine
Yield: 3 Cups

1 T Oil preferably canola
1 Medium onion
1/2 Medium green bell pepper
Chopped
2 Celery ribs, chopped
3 Cloves garlic, minced
1 c Canned crushed tomatoes
1 c Chicken or beef stock
2/3 c Cider vinegar
1/2 c Pecan pieces
6 T Creole mustard
3 T Brown sugar
2 T Chili sauce
1/2 t Tabasco sauce
1/2 t Fresh ground Pepper
1/2 t White pepper
1/2 t Cayenne
Salt to taste

In a saucepan, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, bell
pepper, celery, and garlic and sauté until everything is softened,
about 5 minutes. Mix in the remaining ingredients, reduce the heat to
low, and cook until the mixture thickens, approximately 30 minutes.
Stir frequently. Let the sauce cool briefly. Spoon the sauce into a
blender and puree it until smooth. If the consistency is thicker than
you prefer, add a little water. Use the sauce warm or chilled. It
keeps refrigerated, for at least a week.
