This is so easy to do, you may never buy pre-made bbq sauces again! They are usually so strong and have lots of preservatives in them. This recipe can be doubled.

1 Tbsp oil or margarine
1/2 C sliced onion
1/4 C celery, fine dice
1/2 C ketchup
1/3 C water
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp vinegar (rice, white or cider)
1 tbsp mustard

In a sauce pan, saute the onion and celery until tender. Add the remaining ingredients and combine thoroughly. Spice to taste -
Some idea’s on spicing include, garlic powder, soy sauce, liquid smoke, paprika, cayenne pepper or honey. Customize this & call it yours!

This sauce is wonderful poured over cut up chicken and baked or bbq’d in foil. It also makes for a wonderful rib or tri-tip marinade and basting sauce.
