Anyway this is a long shot but maybe, just maybe someone out there knows this recipe. I can give you most of the ingredients but don't know the amounts. If it helps, my fil was from Miss. and I have a feeling it came from back there but none of the family ever made it so they don't have it. Okay here goes:

apple cider vinegar, tomto sauce, onion, brown sugar, dry mustard, worstershire sauce and I believe, garlic. That's all I can remember. Anyway, would so appreciate any help locating this family recipe (my husband has never let me live it down that I somehow lost it). Would be great to be able to insert a copy of it in his Father's Day card tomorrow (well, I can dream can't I?). Thanks in advance.
And just a suggestion - if you have a prized family recipe make some copies just in case you lose one.

Basic Tomato BBQ Sauce
1 regular can of tomato sauce
1 can of tomato paste
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, crushed
4 tablespoons onion, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon cayenne
fresh ground pepper to taste
Cook the garlic and onion until it's soft, and then add all the rest of the ingredients. Simmer on low for 20-30 minutes. Keep stirring it often so it doesn't burn, then refrigerate for a few days before you use it. This allows the flavors to blend and mellow.
