BBQ Sauce II

I found this recipe in Consumer Reports last year. It's really good. One of the readers uses all dark molasses, more cayenne, orange zest instead of marmalade, and no liquid smoke for his. I've tried it both ways and changed it to suit my taste at the time of making it.

In a medium- sized saucepan, combine all ingredients except the liquid smoke.

Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat. Add liquid smoke. Stir.
