Basic Barbecue Sauce
Yields about 2 cups.
The sauce is a great blend of sweet, tart, tang and clingability. Try it on ribs, brisket, smokedpork butt and grilled chicken with fabulous results.
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup ketchup
- ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup distilled white vinegar
- ¼ cup yellow mustard
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Mix all the ingredients in a medium saucepan. Set over medium heat and slowly bring to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Thin with water if it gets too thick. Serve on anything your heart desires.
