U.S.A.
Makes 2 1/2 to 3 cups

A good barbecue sauce is a study in contrasts: sweet versus sour, fruity versus smoky, spicy versus mellow. Here’s a great all-purpose sauce that’s loaded with flavor, but not too sweet. It goes well with all manner of poultry, pork, or beef.

The minced vegetables give you a coarse-textured sauce, which I happen to like. If you prefer a smooth sauce, purée it in a blender.


   _ tbs vegetable oil
   _ onion, medium, minced
   _ clove garlic, minced
   ___ green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and minced
   ___ c ketchup
   ___ c tomato sauce
   _ c water, or more if needed
   _ tbs cider vinegar, or more to taste
   _ tbs worcestershire sauce
   _ tbs lemon juice, fresh
   _ tbs pineapple juice (optional)
   _ tsp hot sauce, your favorite, or more to taste
   ___ tsp liquid smoke or 2 tablespoons meat drippings
   _ tbs molasses
   _ tbs brown sugar, firmly packed, dark brown, or more to taste
   _ tbs mustard of choice
   _ tsp dry mustard
   ___ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
   Salt, to taste


1. Heat the oil in a large nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper and sauté until softened but not brown, about 4 minutes.

2. Stir in the ketchup, tomato sauce, 1 cup water, 3 tablespoon vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, pineapple juice (if using), hot sauce, liquid smoke, molasses, sugar, both mustards, and black pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until thickened, about 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent scorching. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little water. Remove from the heat and taste for seasoning, adding salt and vinegar, hot sauce, and sugar as necessary; the sauce should be highly seasoned.

3. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm or at room temperature. The sauce will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for several weeks.

Makes 2 1/2 to 3 cups
