     1/3  cup           brown sugar
          large         onion -- chopped fine
   2      teaspoons     yellow salad mustard
   2      large         garlic cloves -- minced fine

                        --more for sharper taste -- bottled juice ok
   1      cup           favorite catsup
                        ***OPTIONAL SPICES TO TASTE***
                        cloves
                        allspice
                        lemon pepper
                        salt
                        pepper -- freshly ground
                        Tabasco sauce

Preparation:

In saucepan, sauté onion and garlic in melted butter until soft. Add brown sugar, cook stirring continuously, until no longer granular. Add catsup, lemon juice and mustard and any optional spices. Bring to boil continually stirring, turn fire down to simmer. Cover pot with screen to permit thickening by evaporation, while preventing splattering of sauce. Stir once in a while to prevent burning on bottom. Takes about 15-min. With tongs dunk meat into sauce, shake off excess and grill over charcoal. Sauce keeps for several months when refrigerated. Can also be frozen then thawed in microwave. This is a sweet/tart sauce equally good on hamburgers, poultry, pork ribs and chops, over cooked rice.
