Recipe: Woody's Cook-In Sauce (Approximate Recipe)

It is no longer being made and can no longer be bought anywhere. I found this on a bulletin board talking about Woody's demise. Hopefully you can work with this recipe.

MY WOODY'S COOK-IN SAUCE RECIPE

2 tbsp water
3 6oz cans tomato paste
2 tbsp canola oil (soybean oil)
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp liquid hickory smoke flavor (hickory smoke)
1/2 tsp onion powder (spices)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (spices)
1/2 tsp black pepper (spices)
1/2 tsp paprika (spices)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dark molasses (sugar, carmel color)
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce (soy sauce, carmel color, anchovies, onions, tamarinds, flavoring, etc)
1/4 tsp xanthan gum (thickening agent)

Mix all ingredients and simmer until flavors combine and consistency is right.

This recipe is based on the order ingredients are listed, what I taste, and things found in most kitchens. Real Woody's is a little darker (more carmel color and tastes more strongly of tamarinds).
