Saute Onion: Begin by sautéing the finely chopped onion in a pan with a splash of oil over medium heat. Cook until the onion turns translucent and slightly caramelized, releasing its sweet aroma.
-
Add Remaining Ingredients: Once the onion is cooked, add the remaining ingredients to the pan – ketchup, water, lemon juice, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
-
Simmer: Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This simmering process will help meld the flavors together, resulting in a rich and flavorful barbecue sauce.
-
Serve or Store: Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency and the flavors have melded beautifully, it’s ready to serve! Use it immediately to glaze meats, as a dipping sauce, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use. Enjoy the homemade goodness in every bite!
