Bob Hart's BBQ sauces

BOB HART�S ALL-PURPOSE BARBECUE SAUCE:

This is a sauce you can customize � make it your own. Even bottle some and label it and give it as gifts to admirers of your barbecue skills. Take liberties, and try to find a secret ingredient all of your own to add. This is my version:

Combine 2 cups tomato sauce with 1/4 cup cider vinegar and a couple of glugs of Worcestershire sauce. Add 2tbs dried English mustard, 1tbs ground ginger, 2tbs molasses and 2tbs dark brown sugar. Fire it up with a few shakes of Tabasco � many shakes if you like it on the hot side, as I do � 1tbs onion powder, 1tbs garlic powder, a couple of glugs of Jack Daniels, sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Bring to a boil in a stainless-steel saucepan and simmer gently to thicken � about 15mins. Bottle in sterile jars and remember to work on that label (Mine�s called Hartburn Barbie Buster Sauce).

This sauce goes well with pork, chicken or burgers. Or anything you like, really.  

BOB HART�S TWO MUSTARD SAUCE:

This is an easy and tasty sauce that is especially good with char-grilled or barbecued fish, especially swordfish or tuna. It is also great with barbecued chicken.

Ingredients:

1 tbs chopped shallots
6 tbs dry white wine
2 cups whipping cream
2 tbs Dijon mustard
2 tbs seeded mustard
salt, pepper

Place shallots and wine in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat until wine is reduced by about a third and the wine and shallot mixture is becoming a mush. Whisk in the cream, mustards and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Continue to simmer, stirring, until sauce thickens. Serve it, warm, over the hot, grilled ingredient.
