Note

This sauce yields about 2 cups, which is enough to coat 4-5 pounds of meat.

Storage: Let the sauce cool completely before transferring it to an airtight jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The flavors will deepen and improve after a day or two.

Substitutions: If you prefer a less tangy sauce, you can reduce the vinegar by 1/4 cup and increase the water or ketchup accordingly. For a smokier flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke.

Tip: Grating the onion helps it dissolve into the sauce, creating a smoother texture without large chunks of raw onion.
