Kansas City Barbecue Sauce

Recipe Introduction


Here it is: the sauce from the sauce capital of the country. When people say "barbecue sauce," they mean Kansas City barbecue sauce -- thick, tomato-rich, sweet and spicy. The old-style recipes, like this one here, start with butter or bacon drippings, which makes them a little on the rich side.
Makes about 8 cups



List of Ingredients




1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 garlic doves, pressed
1 cup minced onions
1 lemon, unpeeled, seeded and minced
1 32-ounce bottle ketchup
1 cup tomato juice
1 cup V-8 juice
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 Cup chili powder
1/4 Cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons black pepper
1 teaspoon salt


Recipe



Melt the butter in a nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, and lemon, and saute until the onion is tender but not brown, about 4 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until the sauce has thickened. Use the sauce warm or chilled. It will keep for 2 weeks in an airtight jar in the refrigerator.
How to Use It:
Glaze this sauce on your chicken or pork ribs about 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, and you will be the neighborhood barbecue "King." It's also really good as a topping for hamburgers.
