How to Make Lean And Mean Texas Barbecue Sauce

  1. In a non-reactive saucepan, combine all ingredients. Whisk thoroughly to ensure everything is well mixed.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even thickening. The sauce is ready when it coats the back of a spoon.
  3. For immediate use, proceed to step 4. For longer storage and enhanced flavor, transfer the hot sauce to sterilized jars. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce before sealing the lid to prevent a skin from forming. Allow to cool completely to room temperature before refrigerating. Let the flavors meld for 2-3 days in the refrigerator before using for the best taste.
  4. Enjoy your delicious homemade barbecue sauce! Store refrigerated for up to several months.
