Description

This robust barbecue sauce combines vinegar, ketchup, and chile sauce with brown sugar, molasses, and spices for a deep, smoky flavor. Best prepared by simmering on the edge of the grill for an hour to absorb authentic smoke, though it can be made indoors. Serve hot with your favorite grilled meats.

Directions

  1. In a 2-cup measure, combine the vinegar and water.
  2. Stir in the salt, pepper, paprika, brown sugar, molasses, and dry mustard.
  3. Set aside to steep.
  4. Combine the ketchup, chile sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion, and butter in a medium-sized saucepan.
  5. Raise to a boil over medium-low heat.
  6. Stir in the vinegar-water mixture.
  7. Transfer to an outside cooker and simmer uncovered for 1 hour or so, stirring from time to time, to absorb smoke flavor.
  8. If cooking indoors, simmer for about 30 minutes instead.
  9. Store covered in the refrigerator.
  10. Serve hot with barbecue.
