  Categories: Bbq sauces, Bar-b-q, Mine
       Yield: 3 Cups
  
       1 T  Oil preferably canola
       1    Medium onion
     1/2    Medium green bell pepper
            Chopped
       2    Celery ribs, chopped
       3    Cloves garlic, minced
       1 c  Canned crushed tomatoes
       1 c  Chicken or beef stock
     2/3 c  Cider vinegar
     1/2 c  Pecan pieces
       6 T  Creole mustard
       3 T  Brown sugar
       2 T  Chili sauce
     1/2 t  Tabasco sauce
     1/2 t  Fresh ground Pepper
     1/2 t  White pepper
     1/2 t  Cayenne
            Salt to taste
  
   In a saucepan, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, bell
   pepper, celery, and garlic and sauté until everything is softened,
   about 5 minutes. Mix in the remaining ingredients, reduce the heat to
   low, and cook until the mixture thickens, approximately 30 minutes.
   Stir frequently. Let the sauce cool briefly. Spoon the sauce into a
   blender and puree it until smooth. If the consistency is thicker than
   you prefer, add a little water. Use the sauce warm or chilled. It
   keeps refrigerated, for at least a week.
