Homemade Sweet And Spicy Barbecue Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup onion, chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup molasses
1 cup vinegar
1 1/2 cups catsup
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
3 beef bouillon cubes
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Tabasco sauce

Preparation

Melt butter in a large stewpot over med-high heat.
When the bubbling subsides add the onions all at once.
Sprinkle with the salt and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring often, until golden.
Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the syrup, molasses, vinegar and catsup. (At this point I use a hand blender to puree the onions, but this is optional).
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to med-low.
Add the remaining ingredients and continue to simmer until thick and bubbly, at least 30 minutes. The longer you simmer it, the better it will be.
