  • - Stainless Steel Spoons and Spatulas (versatile utensils for stirring, folding, and scraping)

  • - Food Storage Containers (designated for refrigerator storage to keep the prepared sauce fresh)

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 medium-size onion, minced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1/4 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and minced

  • 1/2 cup ketchup

  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce

  • 3 tablespoons cider vinegar, or more to taste

  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons pineapple juice (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce, or more to taste

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

Instruction 2

Stir in the ketchup, tomato sauce, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, pineapple juice (if using), hot sauce, liquid smoke, molasses, brown sugar, prepared and dry mustards, black pepper, and 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer, uncovered, until thickened, about 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent scorching. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more water.

Instruction 3

Remove the barbecue sauce from the heat and taste for seasoning, adding salt to taste and more cider vinegar, hot sauce, and/or brown sugar as necessary; the sauce should be highly seasoned.
