A simple family favorite since an extended family trip to Lake Shasta in the 80s. Someone made this sauce (mom? Mamoo? Dorothy?) to serve over BBQ chicken, and it became an instant classic. Whenever we make it (which is often--there's always a container in the fridge), my mind is flooded with memories of that trip so long ago: lots of water skiing, trying unsuccessfully to slalom, and at least one riding adventure with a horse named "Bucketmouth." Anyone else have a particular memory?
Shasta BBQ Sauce
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water (optional)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoon molasses
2-3 tablespoon woody's BBQ concentrate
Whisk all ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl until sauce becomes smooth. Taste to adjust ingredients. Always safe to double.

My favorite BBQ sauce! I want to make this right now!
