Ketchup, BBQ Sauce and Steak Sauce

Armed with 30 pounds of paste tomatoes (plum and romas), I was ready to do some saucing.  I made 6 pints of ketchup, 12 half-pints each of steak sauce and BBQ sauce.  And I still had plenty of tomatoes left to freeze.
For all three recipes, I started with Mrs. Wages powdered Ketchup mix.  Using her mix is the closest I've come to Heinz's Ketchup.  For the Ketchup, I followed the recipe on the back of the package.  For the BBQ sauce, I started with the Ketchup as a base; then added some garlic, onion, molasses, brown sugar, cider vinegar, cayenne and liquid smoke.  For the steak sauce I added worcestershire sauce, and a little dijon mustard.  Didn't have any specific recipes, just tried and tasted.
