Course : BBQ Sauce
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 32
 

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons bacon fat
1 medium onion -- peeled/chopped
1 clove garlic -- peeled/minced
1/2 cup green pepper -- chopped
1 can tomatoes -- canned (16 oz)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup water
4 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons mustard -- dry
1 medium lemon -- quartered
1/4 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
3 dashes red pepper sauce
 

Preparation:

1. Heat bacon fat in a large heavy pot over low heat; sauté onion, garlic, and green pepper until limp. Add remaining ingredients, blend well, bring to simmering, then lower heat and cook slowly until thick. Remove and discard lemon quarters. This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator, and Sybil often doubles the recipe to have on hand to use whenever a barbecue recipe is called for. Heat well before using. Baste over meat during last 15 minutes of cooking, and, if desired, spoon over cooked meat before serving. 2. Excellent for chicken, spareribs, pork chops, hamburgers, hot dogs, steaks and kabobs - just about any barbecued meat.
