Nashville Sweet BBQ Sauce

We love this BBQ sauce.  We have used it on BBQ chicken on the grill.  It is great on whole pieces or boneless skinless pieces.  I keep some in the fridge for everyday use.  The kids love it with chicken nuggets and my husband uses it on any kind of meat.    This is adapted from food.com.




Ingredients:

2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
6 -8 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

1.  Combine ketchup, brown sugar, lemon juice, zest, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, onion powder, and pepper in a nonreactive saucepan. Whisk to mix.

2.  Let the sauce gradually come to a simmer over medium heat and simmer until thick and flavorful, 8 to 10 minutes.

3.  If not serving the sauce immediately, let cool to room temperature, transfer to an air tight jar, and refrigerate until serving.
