BBQ Sauce

A visitor who read the post I made yesterday about the Barbequed Beef asked me to list the ingredients for the sauce. It's almost the same as for the Barbequed Beef recipe (without the beef) with a few minor modifications. I think you could make it without the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. If you want a little heat, add some tabasco sauce. Or some jalapeno peppers diced fine.

Barbecue Sauce
Adapted from a recipe in Simply Stews by Susan Wyler

1 - 2 tbsp. olive oil
3 small onions, chopped
12 ounces water
½ cup plus 2 tbsp cider vinegar
½ cup ketchup
3 tbsp. light brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 ½ tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dry mustard
¾ teaspoon dried marjoram
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. freshly ground pepper
3 – 4 chilies (from can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce)

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add the chopped onions and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add the water, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, dry mustard, dried marjoram, salt, pepper and chilies. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer until thickened.
