Ingredients

Beer Barbecue Sauce

  • 1 cup prepared barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ⅔ cup beer
  • ¼ cup honey or molasses
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 onions finely chopped

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Transfer to a saucepan and cook for about 10 minutes or until thickened. Use for basting or serving with cooked food.

Notes

Estimated yield: about 4 cups, or 32 servings of 2 tablespoons, depending on onion size and reduction. Honey or molasses may be used. If using as a marinade, refrigerate the food while marinating; bring used marinade to a full boil before using it as a sauce.
