Susan's Bar B Cue Sauce

Just finished creating this barbecue sauce recipe and it can be very spicy! You can add or subtract pepper. Bon Appetit!

1/2 box of light brown sugar
3/4 cup of water
1/2 cup of ketchup
1/4 teaspoon of coarse black pepper
2 Tablespoons of vinegar
2 teaspoons of salt
1 bottle of Heinz Chili Sauce
(the Seafood Sauce by Heinz can be used but it is eye watering hot!)
1/4 cup of dehydrated onions

Mix water and light brown sugar in pot; mix well. Stir in rest of ingredients as listed above. Simmer on low for 1/2 hour to thicken; watching carefully because it can boil over.

Grease a bundt or loaf pan with butter.

Beat cream cheese until fluffy; add eggs and beat well.

This batter will be very stiff...don't worry it will spread easily.

Bake for 45 to 55 minutes.

Gateau De Sirop

When we would come home from school many times this was waiting on the counter, in mama's favorite little pan, to be served with a big glass of cold milk.

It is a very dark sticky cake and absolutely scrumptious! I still have the little pan and it brings back the memories of those days and the smell of this cake in that little kitchen. Bon Appetit!
