Title: A Traditional American Basic Barbecue Sauce
Yield: 1 Serving

Ingredients

      3 tb vegetable oil
      1    onion; chopped
      2    cloves garlic; minced
  1 1/4 c  catsup
    1/3 c  cider vinegar
    1/3 c  Worcestershire sauce
    1/3 c  brown sugar
      2 ts chili powder
    1/4 ts cayenne pepper

Instructions

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and cook the onion and garlic, gently for
10 minutes. Add the catsup, vinegar, Worcestershire, brown sugar, chili
powder, and cayenne, and mix well. Let simmer for about 20 minutes,
stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Makes about 2-1/2 cups

This sauce has a nice balance of sweet, tart, and spice. Because the sauce
contains sugar, it burns easily, and is best brushed on food just during
the last 5 or 10 minutes of cooking. Pass the remaining sauce around the
table.
