Bona Fide Barbecue Sauce

Once you've made this homemade sauce, you'll never buy bottled again. I had to guess on the serving size. (Note - if making vegetarian, use an anchovy-free Worcestershire sauce).

• Ready In: 2 hrs 15 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1  cup butter
• 2  cups onions, chopped
• 6  garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1⁄2 cups brown sugar
• 1  tablespoon salt
• 1⁄4 cup black pepper
•  cayenne pepper, to your taste
• 4 1⁄2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 3  tablespoons vinegar
• 3  tablespoons lemon juice
• 3⁄4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 48  ounces ketchup
• 48  ounces water

Directions

1. Sauté onion and garlic in butter until limp.
2. Add remaining ingredients and simmer on low heat for 2 hours uncovered while stirring occasionally.
3. After reading a review, I made this today by chopping my onion in the food processor quite fine before sautéing. Wonderful, and less chunky. 10-21-07.
