Basic All-American Barbecue Sauce

Serves: 1 people

Recipe Ingredients

4   Onions - chopped (large)
3 tablespoons 45mlVegetable oil - for sauteing
1   Tomato puree
3   Tomatoes - with juice
2 1/2 cups 592mlWhite vinegar
4 tablespoons 60mlPacked dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons 60mlGranulated sugar
2 tablespoons 30mlSalt
2 tablespoons 30mlFreshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons 30mlPaprika
2 tablespoons 30mlChili powder
4 tablespoons 60mlMolasses
1 cup 237mlOrange juice
2 tablespoons 30mlLiquid smoke
8 tablespoons 120mlBrown mustard - Dijon-style

Recipe Instructions

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, saute the onion in the oil over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 7 to 10 minutes.

Add all the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered at the lowest possible heat for 4 hours. (This long cooking removes as much acidity as possible from the tomatoes.)

Puree sauce in 2, 3, or more batches to prevent it from spilling out of your food processor or blender.

Will keep 2 weeks, covered, in the refrigerator.
