You don’t have time to make Dad’s barbeque sauce, and you just discovered you’re out of ketchup, too. Don’t panic!
1/4 small onion, grated
1 large or 2 small cloves garlic, minced
2 6-oz cans tomato paste
8 oz chicken broth
1/4 c balsamic vinegar
1/4 c maple syrup
1/4 c molasses or brown sugar
2 – 3 T liquid smoke
salt and pepper to taste
Start cooking the onion and garlic in a little of the chicken broth in a sauce pan. Add the rest of the ingredients, adjusting for personal taste where needed. Okay, so it is not quite as good as Dad’s, but it is almost as good as the supermarket’s, and it will do nicely in a pinch!
