Yesterday we had some company and we smoked some baby back ribs.

I friend had furnished the following recipe for a home made BBQ sauce.

This is an amazing sauce - I made it the day before and then warmed it lightly
before serving.

The lemon & the black pepper gives the sauce a fantastic little "Bite"

The BBQ Sauce -

2 Cups Ketchup
½ Cup brown sugar
1 Tsp grated lemon zest
6 Tbs. fresh lemon juice or more to taste
2 Tbs. molasses
1Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ Tsp liquid smoke
2 Tsp dry mustard, preferable Coleman's
1 Tsp Onion Powder
½ Tsp Black Pepper

Heat the sauce to a simmer over heat about 8 to 10 minutes.

Sounds pretty good. Lemon juice instead of the more usual cider
vinegar is an interesting change. I normally go for a less
tomato-y sauce by replacing some of the ketchup with a fruit
jelly (plum, grape, or cherry all work) and by including brewed
coffee.

Is liquid smoke a product whose label you're better off not reading?

YES!

Not at all, it contains nothing but condensed hickory smoke,
and is classified as a natural rather than an artificial
flavoring.

Alton Brown even showed you how to make your own if you're so inclined.

I suspect having it classified as "natural" avoids them having
to prove it isn't carcinogenic, which they have to do with
"artificial" flavorings.

What colour is it ?

Clear with a tannish tinge.
