This is one of the best BBQ sauces I have ever had-sweet and tangy and balanced just right.
Ingredients:
2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
6 -8 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Combine ketchup, brown sugar, lemon juice, zest, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, mustard, onion powder, and pepper in a nonreactive saucepan. Whisk to mix.
2. Let the sauce gradually come to a simmer over medium heat and simmer until thick and flavorful, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. If not serving the sauce immediately, let cool to room temperature, transfer to air tight jars, and refrigerate until serving.
