  • 3 tablespoons butter, preferably unsalted
  • ¼ cup minced onion
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
  • Dash of Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce
  1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the onions begin to turn golden. Stir in the remaining ingredients, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the mixture thickens, approximately 20 minutes. Stir frequently.
