By pavaldez

Ingredients

• 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons molasses
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed orange juice
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

Add the onions and cook until soft, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, lemon juice, orange juice, mustard, Worcestershire and hot sauce, and bring to a boil.

Lower the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and the flavors marry, 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove from the heat and let cool slightly before serving.
