How to Make Best Ever Bbq Sauce
- Gently sauté 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1 cup tomato ketchup, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar to the onions.
- Remove a thin strip of zest (about 1 teaspoon) from 1 lemon and add it to the pan along with the juice of 1/2 lemon.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon paprika and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (or more, to taste).
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken as it simmers. The oil should be absorbed into the sauce.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The flavor will deepen overnight.
