I've never cared that much for store bought barbecue sauce. I just like to make things myself from scratch including this spicy, deep red-brown sauce. You'll find it clings well when you slather it on grilled meat.—Helena Georgette Mann, Sacramento, California Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 to 3 teaspoons chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
1 cup ketchup |
1/3 cup molasses |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard |
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Stir in the chili powder, cayenne and pepper; cook 1 minute longer.
2. Stir in the ketchup, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and pepper sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes or until sauce reaches desired consistency. Cool for 15 minutes.
3. Strain sauce through a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl, discarding vegetables and seasonings. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Use as a basting sauce for grilled meats. Yield: 1-1/2 cups.
