BBQ Season is almost here!

With the coming of BBQ season, I wanted to share a homemade BBQ sauce recipe for any and all to enjoy...

RADIOGUY’S SPICY BBQ SAUCE

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup catsup
• ½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• ¼ cup lime juice
• 1 tbls. Vegetable oil
• 1 tbls. Lea & Perrin’s Worcestershire sauce
• 12 oz. tomato paste
• 12 oz. Beer, any brand
• 1 ½ cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

DIRECTIONS

• In a 2-quart saucepan or pot, combine the catsup, brown sugar, lime juice, vegetable oil, Worchester sauce, tomato paste, and beer.
• In a food processor or spice grinder, mix the onion and garlic, then add to the sauce.

Heat all ingredients to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Yield: about 5 cups of sauce.

(for a spicier BBQ sauce)

• ½ tsp. Chili powder
• ½ tsp. Cayenne pepper
• Jabenero pepper sauce (to taste)

For a spicier BBQ sauce, mix the optional ingredients in a food processor/spice grinder, and add to the sauce (I recommend preparing the sauce AS IS, adding the “hotter” ingredients to taste).
