I'd like to get some input from you with a lot of experience on your favorite ketchup based sauce recipe. I'm personally not a huge fan of sweet sauces like that and prefer mustard sauce or just straight vinegar and pepper. on my ribs i don't like any. BUT. Others do so i keep trying different recipes in order to please myself who likes tangy and spicy and those with more sensitive palettes, like kids, who prefer sweet. My favorite so far is the Apple City recipe. I just tried the IQUE recipe from the Wicked Good book but it's a bit too sweet for my liking. Obviously there are as many opinions about this as there are people in the world so what i'd like is just some of your favorites so i can experiment more. thanks ahead.

Have you ever tried#5 Sauce?
I haven't tried it myself but I hear it's very good.
Basically anything with ketchup and cider vinegar as the base seems to be a good start.
Some people like the straight vinegar sauce, but that's a little too strong for me. I'm in yellow mustard country here in South Carolina but I think that type of sauce sucks personally.

Don't have the exact recipe here -- maybe I can fill-in the details later.
However, I found a recipe for a ketchup-based sauce and "doctored" it to my liking by adding:
-Darken the flavor with some good, dark molasses
-Bourbon (about 1/4 cup for every cup of Ketchup)
-Cider Vinegar (about equal to the Bourbon)
-About 3 Tablespoons of the Adobo sauce from a small can of Chipotles (adds a nice, smoky kick)
-About 3 Tablespoons of Dijon Mustard

and by "good, dark molasses", ONLY use blackstrap (not fancy).
Fancy has very little flavour whereas blackstrap is obtained after fancy has been processed.
Most of the sugar is now gone and you're left with some wonderfully flavourful stuff.
