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.
