Beer and Molasses Barbecue Sauce

1 1/4 cups bottled chili sauce
3/4 cup molasses
3/4 cup dark beer, such as Guinness
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon liquid smoke

Mix all ingredients in a heavy medium saucepan.  Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.  Reduce heat; simmer until sauce thickens and is reduced to 2 cups, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.  Cool completely before using.  (Can be made 1 week ahead.  Cover and chill.)

Makes about 2 cups.
