Firefighter Bar-B-Que Sauce
 

 To Get Started - First you add 3 tablespoons of mustard. Turn on the fire or electric oven. Add 1/2 of chopped up yellow onion. Let simmer for two to three minutes. Cover the bottom of pot with ketchup. Put a generous portion of maple syrup. Let it simmer for about two to three minutes. Add tomato sauce, 
depending on how much you want to make. Two small cans should be enough. Add two tablespoons of honey. Stir all ingredients until mixed. Add soy sauce, about three tablespoons. Add Italian dressing, less than half of a small
bottle. Stir all ingredients until mixed together. Add Worchester sauce, four tablespoons. Add all spices in no particular order. Stir until all mixed together. Add brown sugar or cinnamon, which ever you want. You can also use both if so desired. You will need about four tablespoons of each. Add sugar,
one to two cups should be enough. If you want it sweeter then, add for desired sweetness. Add one bottle of Kraft Bar-B-Que sauce. The preferred type is Hickory smoked with honey. Let simmer for 30 minutes. Add water for
desired thickness. For spiciness add two or three teaspoons of Cayenne pepper.
