Ingredients

• Servings: 16
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 1 tablespoon celery seed
• 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring (to spiced it up )
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Recipe

• 1 1. in a one quart jar, combine sugar, ketchup, oil, garlic, vinegar, hot sauce, celery seed, liquid smoke and chives. cover and shake well. refrigerate until serving.
• 2 my update note: i would cut down on the oil just slightly. i tried a few variations: for the vinegar i used half rice vinegar and half balsamic. i also used brown sugar for more flavor and a thicker texture. no liquid smoke? try a splash of worstershire.
• 3 it was so good that we served it on a salad after only being chilled for about 15 minutes. i had not fresh chives so i used dry chives. it worked great. the pepper sauce gave it a "gently" spiced flavor, somewhat tangy!
