Barbecue Sauce

This sauce is good for basting grilled meats or being used as a marinade, excellent on pork ribs and chicken. If a stick blender is not handy to you, you can cook the onion longer until it turns really soft and completely broken down. It can be stored in a sterilized jar in fridge up to 3 weeks.

Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 30 mins
Yield: 1 ½ cup

Ingredients:

• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp freshly grated black pepper
• 7 Tbsp (85 gm) brown sugar
• 1 cup (250 ml) ketchup
• 2 ½ Tbsp (50 ml) apple cider vinegar
• 3 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 Tbsp (40 ml) honey
• ¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper

Method:

• Use a deep heavy-based pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened. Add the garlic, salt, pepper and brown sugar. Cook for about 2 minutes.
• Pour in the remaining ingredients. Bring it to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes. Stir constantly. The sauce should get thicker and thicker. Taste and add more vinegar and sugar if needed. Let it cool a bit. Blend the sauce into a smoother texture with a stick blender. Done.
