Watermelon Barbecue Sauce

 

6 lbs. watermelon, seedless

8 oz. tomato paste

1 Tbsp. onion powder

1 Tbsp. garlic powder

2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed

1/2 cup apple juice

2 tsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. liquid smoke

 

Cut the melon into chunks and place in a saucepan. Cook it uncovered

over medium heat until the melon is the consistency of applesauce

(approximately 2-3 hours). Stir it occasionally. Add remaining

ingredients. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 2 hours. Allow to

cool to room temperature before using.
