Old West Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 tsp. salt
1 tablespoon white vinegar
3 tablespoons prepared mustard
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Directions:
Bring all ingredients to a boil in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat.  Reduce heat to low.  Simmer for 30-45 minutes.  Serve with any grilled steaks.

Barbecue sauce recipes continue today.  There are
more bottled barbecue sauces available to buy online or
at the grocery store than ever before.  Why not try one of these
recipes, though, and experience the satisfaction of creating
something yourself?  (And you’ll be the one who’ll be getting
the compliments, too).

Gather your ingredients now, then plan to brew some magic
in the kitchen this weekend.  Try using fresh herbs where
possible, and fresh garlic or lemon juice.  Some of the recipes
here require some additional time to simmer slowly over low heat,
so plan accordingly.
