Time 1h

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 cups finely chopped onion
3/4 cup salad oil
8 cups tomato sauce
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup prepared mustard
1 to 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 bay leaves, crushed
1 tablespoon chili powder

Steps:

Saute onions in hot oil until tender; do not brown.
Stir in remaining ingredients; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 45 to 60 minutes, until mixture begins to thicken. Cool and pour into pint jars with tight-fitting lids. Store in refrigerator. Keeps a year.
Use as you would any barbecue sauce: to grill poultry, beef, pork; to mix with ground beef to make barbecued beef. Or just as a sauce spooned over roasted or broiled meats.
