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)
  • ¼ teaspoon (1 mL) Louisiana-style red pepper sauce
  • ½ cup (120 mL) brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 mL) salt

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.

Keep refrigerated

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