If you like a rich, thick, sweet-spicy barbecue sauce on your ribs, then this is the perfect BBQ sauce for you.
INGREDIENTS :
2 cups ketchup
1 small can tomato paste
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
