Barbecue Sauce is a tomato or ketchup-based sauce used on meats. Kansas City-style barbecue sauce is the most common version used in the United States. It is tomato or ketchup-based on sweet, sour, and smoky elements. Barbecue sauce can be added to the meat before, during, or after cooking. This version contains quite a bit of sugar, so it should be added near the end or after cooking the meat to avoid burning the sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (235 mL) ketchup
• 6 tablespoons (90 mL) Worcestershire sauce
• 4 tablespoons (60 mL) butter or margarine
• 3 tablespoons (45 mL) white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon (15 mL) plain prepared mustard
• 3 tablespoons (45 mL) finely minced yellow onion
• 4 teaspoons (20 mL) bottled liquid smoke flavor (hickory)
• 1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) Louisiana-style red pepper sauce
• 1/2 cup (120 mL) brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon (15 mL) granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon (5 mL) salt

Makes 2 cups (470 mL) of sauce.

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.
2. Mix well.
3. Simmer over low heat for 20-minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes:

This sauce tastes very close to commercial barbecue sauces such as Masterpiece and Bullseye.

Warnings

• Keep refrigerated
• Add to meat near the end or after cooking to avoid burning sauce because of sugar content.
