Nothing tastes better than barbeque sauce that you made with your own hands. Luckily, this is not that hard to do. What starts out as basic ingredients turns into a work of art that graces your meats and vegetables on the grill.
Instructions
1. Peel the onions and garlic. Cut the onions into 1/2-inch dice and set aside. Mince the garlic into pieces 1/4-inch in size.
2. In a large heavy-bottomed saute pan, heat the pan over medium-high heat.
3. Add the oil to the pan and turn the heat to just above medium heat.
4. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic to the saute pan and saute until the onion is aromatic and starts looking translucent.
5. Add the tomato puree to the pan and continue stirring the mixture until the puree just begins to turn brown.
6. Add the rest of the ingredients to the saute pan beginning with the ketchup and vinegar.
7. Turn the heat up to medium-high heat and simmer the sauce while stirring for approximately 12 to 15 minutes.
8. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings to your personal preferences.
9. Once the sauce is to your liking, refrigerate the sauce covered until you are ready to use it.
