Source of Recipe


From "Weber's Big Book of Burgers"



List of Ingredients



• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  
• 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  
• 3 cloves garlic, minced or pushed through a press
  
• 3 cups ketchup
  
• 2 ½ cups cherry cola (not diet)
  
• ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  
• ½ cup cherry preserves
  
• ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  
• 2 teaspoons prepared chili powder
  
• ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  






Instructions



1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic and cook until slightly softened, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
   
   
2. Whisk in the remaining ingredients. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the mixture thickens and is reduced to 4 cups, 45 to 55 minutes, stirring occasionally.
   
   
3. Serve warm; or cool completely and transfer to a covered container. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 month. Reheat before serving.
