Preparation

Step 1
Saute onions in hot oil until tender; do not brown.
Step 2
Stir in remaining ingredients; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 45 to 60 minutes, until mixture begins to thicken. Cool and pour into pint jars with tight-fitting lids. Store in refrigerator. Keeps a year.
Step 3
Use as you would any barbecue sauce: to grill poultry, beef, pork; to mix with ground beef to make barbecued beef. Or just as a sauce spooned over roasted or broiled meats.
