Lemon-Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce image

Received this recipe from my MIL for pulled pork. It is so good. The lemon flavour really comes through the day after it is made...Loved it with pulled pork, think it would be good on any pork or chicken.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • Gradually bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and let simmer until thick and flavourful, 8-10 minutes. Taste for seasoning, adding more lemon juice if necessary.
