Directions
Combin the lemon juice, chopped onion, white vinegar, water, brown sugar, mustard, black pepper, salt, cayenne, and vegetable oil in a medium saucepan. Bring everything to a boil, then let it simmer gently without a lid for about 20 minutes. After that, stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and a bit of liquid smoke. Once it’s all mixed together, bring it back to a quick boil, then take it off the heat. Let the sauce cool, then pop it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
Serving Ideas To Try
This smoky sauce pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a dipping sauce for fries. It also works great as a spread on sandwiches or burgers to add a flavorful kick.
Storage & Reheating
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir well before each use, and for longer storage, freeze in small portions to keep the flavor fresh.
