Follow The Directions

01

Step

Assemble your ingredients. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, minced onion, teriyaki sauce, hot sauce, and liquid smoke until thoroughly combined and the sugar is dissolved. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Transfer the sauce to an airtight container, such as a mason jar. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. (8+ hours)

For a richer, more complex flavor, consider sautéing the minced onion in a teaspoon of olive oil until softened before adding it to the sauce.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
This barbecue sauce can be canned for long-term storage following proper canning procedures.
