Yield: 9 oz
Ingredients:
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1/3 cup Kahlua (a coffee liqueur)
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
-
Combine Ingredients: Begin by gathering a 2-quart saucepan and combining all the ingredients. Add the tomato sauce, Kahlua, finely chopped onion, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, chili powder, and salt into the pan.
-
Bring to Boil: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally to ensure that all ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Simmer: Once the mixture has reached a boil, reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This step helps the flavors meld together beautifully and thickens the sauce slightly.
-
Cool and Store: After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat. Let the barbecue sauce cool to room temperature before transferring it to a jar or airtight container. This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, making it a convenient addition to your pantry.
