Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Onion (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Green bell pepper (finely chopped)
- 6 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups Ketchup
- 0.3333 cup White vinegar
- 0.25 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Dark brown sugar (packed)
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (such as Tabasco or your preference)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the saucepan. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, cayenne pepper, chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the water, ketchup, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir to combine.
Add the Dijon mustard, dark brown sugar, molasses, and hot sauce. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed.
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more hot sauce for additional heat or more sugar for sweetness.
Once done, let the sauce cool slightly. You can use it immediately for basting or dipping, or transfer it to a clean jar and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
