Bull's Eye BBQ Sauce

Recipe's Ingredients:
1/2 C. chopped onions
1 (8 oz.) can tomatoes sauce
1 C. water (OPTION: Beer)
1 1/4 C. ketchup
2 T. brown sugar
2 T. prepared yellow mustard
1 T. olive oil
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 dash Tabasco sauce

Combine ingredients, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. I cooked this for 45 minutes to an hour. The sauce reduced itself and tasted good. If you taste the sauce before simmering, it will not taste as good as when the flavors have melded, but after cooking it is great.
Just like the 'real' sauce on barbecued pork steaks. For the original, do not use beer.

Serving Size : 1
Categories : Dressings Salads Meats

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 ounces Bacon grease
1/4 pound Red onion -- dice fine
2 cups Water
1/2 cup Honey
1/2 cup Red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons Cornstarch
1 tablespoon Tabasco

Place the bacon grease in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until the onions start to blacken. While the onion sare carmelizing, in a mixing bowl place the water, honey and red wine vinegar. Using a wire whisk, mix the ingredients well. Add the cornstarch and whisk well.

After the onions have carmelized, add the Dijon mustard to the onions and stir together with a rubber spatula. Add the water, vinegar, pepper (sic.) honey and cornstarch to the mustard and onions and mix.

Continue stirring until mix thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and store in refigerator until needed.

Note: To reheat use a double boiler. I put the tabasco on the ingredient list if you like it. In different parts of the country Bennigan's recipe omits this ingredient.
