Ingredients: 2 tablespoons butter; 1/4 cup sweet onions (diced ); 1/4 cup carrots (finely diced ); 1/2 cup celery (finely diced ); 1 jalapeno (finely diced); 2 tablespoons brown sugar; 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar; 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce; 1/4 cup lemon juice; 1 cup ketchup; 1 teaspoon dry mustard; salt (to taste)

This Spicy Tangy BBQ Sauce is just that – a bit spicy and tangy, with a touch of brown sugar to round out the flavors. It’s perfect for topping pulled pork and great to have on hand in the fridge whenever you need a quick sauce.

The sauce comes together very quickly. You only have to sauté and simmer the ingredients for a little while. For a smoother sauce, use an immersion or regular blender to get the consistency you prefer.

Keep this BBQ sauce in a clean jar in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks, or freeze it in small batches.
