Our neighbor gave us this recipe years ago and we still make it from time to time. She said she got it from the old barbecue pit master that used to do the barbecue for all of their church gatherings. Its a tomato based sauce with a hint of citrus.
- 1 large bottle of catsup (32 oz.)
- 2 lemons
- 1 onion - diced
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. seasoned pepper
- 1 Tbsp. seasoned salt
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1 clove garlic finely chopped
- 3/4 cup sugar
Pour catsup into saucepan. Squeeze lemons to remove seeds, Pour the lemon juice into the pan with the catsup and add the rest of the ingredients.
Cut lemon skins into quarters and add to the sauce.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally.
Remove lemon skins and pour sauce back into the empty catsup bottle.
