Written by 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 clove garlic, minced
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, hot paprika, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper or honey. Customize this and call it yours!
If you don’t like the sauce chunky, feel free to puree: it whips up nice and thick!
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. Excellent table-side over pork spareribs.
