Ingredients:
2 cups tomato sauce
3/4 cup chili sauce
3/4 cup Coke
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice(save rind)
2 tablespoons spicy/dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 cup firmly pack dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
