Great on all meats or as a dipping sauce.
Serves: 3½ cups
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter (I used salted)
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 3 Tbsp tomato paste
  • One 12-ounce can Dr. Pepper
  • ½ cup cider vinegar
  • ⅓ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
Directions
  1. In a large saucepan, melt butter.
  2. Add chopped onions and garlic. Saute until onions are translucent. (About 10 minutes.)
  3. Whisk all remaining ingredients in a bowl, add to saucepan. Bring to a boil for about 10 minutes. (Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.)
  4. Simmer under a slow boil for 30 minutes. The sauce will begin to thicken. Stir occasionally. Seasonings may be adjusted per taste.
  5. Remove from heat to allow to cool for 10 minutes (or until warm but not boiling hot.)
  6. Puree with blender. This will thicken the sauce.
  7. Let cool.
  8. Keep tightly sealed in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
