Kenny Rogers Barbecue Sauce

1/2 cup Heinz ketchup
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
6 Tbsp. lemon juice
salt and pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 In heavy saucepan bring mixture to boil. Stir constantly about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn heat to low and continue to stir (about 5 minutes) making sure sugar is completely dissolved.
2 Allow to cook without stirring for 15 minutes on lowest possible heat, uncovered. Transfer to top of double boiler over simmering water if to be used as a basting sauce for ribs or chicken during baking; or cool sauce and refrigerate covered to use within 30 days.
Making it right now. It is currently doing its 15min simmer with the gas down low.
Smells pretty good. Might be nice with some raisins added or something as the spices give it that fruity smell.
Am going to use it to baste chicken drumsticks tonight as a tester. Will let you know how it goes.
