Here's my newest variation on Sorcha/SF Bill's recipe. It's in the slow cooker now:

Sorcha/Bill's Mudcat Woody's:

8 oz Tomato Sauce
12 oz Tomato Paste
6 oz water
1 cup vegetable oil (same as soybean oil)
1⁄2 cup white wine Vinegar – 7.1% acidity
1⁄2 cup red wine Vinegar
4 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce (about the same as 8 Tbsp)
1- 2 oz anchovy fillets - finely chopped - with oil
1 - cup RealLemon lemon juice
2.5 Tbsp Paprika
1 Tbsp Onion Power
2 Tbsp Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp McCormick's dry Mustard
1.5 Tbsp Red Tabasco
1/2 cup plus 1.5 Tbsp Hickory Liquid Smoke - Concentrated
2 Tbsp Black Ground Pepper
1 Tbsp cayenne
1 Tbsp tamarind concentrate (Tamicon brand)
1 teas xanthan gum

Into the slow cooker for 6 hours on Low, stirring once an hour or two.


I didn't use the mesquite seasoning because I didn't have any, so I added some extra Hickory Liquid Smoke (as I noted above 1/2 cup is approximately 8 Tbsp according to my measuring cups).

I added some extra tabasco and a Tbsp. of cayenne 'cause it didn't seem quite "hot" enough.


My husband is howling that we already have a 10 year supply of the real Woody's and moaning that now we have more.
