I bought a $20 program on the web called AccuChef, that really comes in handy. It has it's own recipes, but I can also load in a recipe and the quanity it makes. Once that is done, Ir has a resize function where I can put in the quanity I want, and it will change the ingredient quantities.

There are several sites out there that do the same.
Here is one http://www.fruitfromwashington.com/Recipes/scale/recipeconversions.php
Try a search for "recipe converter"

Thanks for all the replies, you guys are awesome. The recipe converter seems like an extremely useful tool. As a rule I never pay for software of any kind but the link Axel provided looks very promising indeed. Thanks again for all your help.

Edit: Here is a nice looking, bare bones, converter I found, it looks promising as well. Its neat and clean and to the point, no fluff. Its definitely no frills, but it has more flexible unit input, it does metric and has a larger variety of input weights and measures, than the other.

Ok . . . after a little number crunching I have prepared the recipe conversions for 1/2 gallon, 1 gallon, and 2.5 gallons of CookShack Spicy BBQ Sauce using their dry mix. The no-frills converter I found is buggy so Axel's is best. Thanks again everyone!

I did a double take on Smokin Okies post above and make sure he didnt post it on Apr 1. He used the "10 t liquid smoke" words in a recipe. Ok I gotta make some of this sauce this weekend and see.

You'd be surprised home many sauces have LS in it and you have NO IDEA how hard it was to type that recipe step

But, to help a guy on the forum, had to do it.

Smokin', tell them to be respectful,as I believe that is an old family recipe of Donna's.

Wow, that seems like a HUGE amount of LS. Would seem to be overpowering.. but, I've learned not to second guess SO.

Ok so I made the sauce tonight, 1 gallon, here is what I did. When I cook simplicity is important so all the quantities of the above recipes are rounded off, from the original amounts, according to amounts of product in the containers they are purchased in to make things easier and more efficient. Its close enough and came out great.

1 64 ounce bottle of Heinz Ketchup.
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 12 oz bottle Brer Rabbit molasses, full flavor, unsulphured
1/2 cup Worcestershire
3/4 cup white or cider vinegar
1/4 cup liquid smoke, more on this later
Instead of water I used 2, 12 ounce, beers and 1/2 cup Jack Daniel's Old No. 7.
3 Tbs Tabasco, might use a little more next time
6.5 ouces of CookShack's dry spicy BBQ mix
1 Tbs. salt

This sauce came out really, really, good. I know there has been alot of talk about liquid smoke and I dont want to start a liquid smoke firestorm here . The brand I have here in Oregon is Wright's Hickory Seasoning. Its actually the first time I have ever used liquid smoke. Upon examining the liquid it is perfectly clear, orange, and has a wonderful aroma. Yes I used less than CookShack's recipe called for because it is strong, but it worked extremely well and the sauce would not be the same without it, not even close. I know there are feelings out there concerning the use of this product but after tonight I feel it absolutely has a place in cooking, at least with sauces.

I'm also finding that flamed Jack Daniel's old #7 also has a nice place in cooking sauces as well.
