Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Onion |
| 3 cloves | Garlic |
| 1/2 cup | Butter |
| 3/4 cup | Apple cider vinegar |
| 1 cup | Bottled water |
| 1 1/3 cups | Bottled chili sauce |

Instructions:
-
Sauté Aromatics: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
-
Add Remaining Ingredients: Once the onions are transparent, stir in apple cider vinegar, bottled water, bottled chili sauce, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and the juice of half a lemon. Pour in the beer and season with black pepper to taste.
-
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, or until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together beautifully. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
-
Enjoy: Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency and the flavors have developed to your liking, remove it from the heat. Let it cool for a few minutes before transferring it to sterilized jars or bottles. This sauce can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
-
