Bert's Superb Barbecue Sauce
1/4 c Cider Vinegar 1 Onion; sliced
1/2 c Water 1/2 ts Pepper
2 tb Sugar 1 1/2 tb Salt
1 tb Prepared Mustard 1/4 ts Cayenne Pepper
1/4 c Butter or Margarine 3/4 c Heinz catsup
1 Thick lemon Slice 2 tb Worcestershire sauce
In a saucepan, mix vinegar, water, sugar, mustard, butter, lemon, onion,
and seasonings. Simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes. Add worcestershire sauce and
catsup, bring back to a boil and its done. (Good Housekeeping CB, 1955)
NOTE: I do not use cayenne or salt and always double this recipe. Into the
double recipe, I add about 1/4 to 1/3 cup brown sugar. This gives the sauce
more of a sweet and sour taste. It is just excellent on Baby Back Ribs,
which I simmer in water with a little vinegar, garlic and just a pinch of
salt for about 30 minutes before barbequeing. Through trial and error, I
have found that Heinz catchup is thicker and makes a "clingier" sauce.
