A DROOLWORTHY BBQ SAUCE

You can slather BBQ sauce on pretty much anything. While bottled BBQ sauce delivers on convenience and price, and there's some fantastic award winning brands on the shelves, they might miss the mark when it comes to a spirited, additive-free flavour of a homemade sauce.

SERVES: Makes 3 cups

INGREDIENTS:

1 medium onion, diced
3 tbsp Garlic olive oil
1 cup tomato ketchup
1 cup tomato sauce
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup dark or white balsamic
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

 

DIRECTIONS:

In a large saucepan, on medium heat, saute onion in 2 tbsp Garlic olive oil until translucent and soft about 3 to 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Bring sauce to a boil and then turn down to low to simmer and cook, uncovered until thick about 30 minutes. The longer the sauce simmers and reduces the more intense the flavour. Keep in airtight jars or containers with lids for up to 4 months.
