Here is the way sauce is made for the famous American Royal cook-off in Kansas City–or at least this is our take on the subject. It is truly a finishing sauce and should not be used as a marinade or a basting sauce. Of course, spread it liberally over ribs just off the grill and serve plenty on the side

Ingredients


  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 cup catsup

  • 1/3 cup molasses

  • 1/4 cup distilled vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons commercial chili powder

  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard

  • 1 teaspoon celery salt

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon ground cayenne chile

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/4 cup water or more if needed



Instructions


Saute the onion and garlic in the oil until the onions are soft. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for ½ hour until thickened.
Servings
1 to 1 1/2 cups
Servings
1 to 1 1/2 cups
