Kanas City Style BBQ Sauce

Ingredients

• 2T vegetable oil
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups ketchup
• ⅓ cup molasses
• ⅓ cup dark brown sugar
• ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
• 2T yellow mustard
• 1T chili powder
• 1T freshly ground black pepper
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper

To Prepare

1. Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Add ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, chili powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Blend until smooth. (Gray's note: I didn't do this. Chunky is fine.) Let cool to room temperature, transfer to jars and store in refrigerator for up to a month.
