Ingredients

2 cups tomato sauce or ketchup

1/2 cup apple juice

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup brown sugar

5 Tbsp butter

3 Tbsp paprika

2 Tbsp chili powder

1 Tbsp chipotle powder

4 finely chopped garlic cloves

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped

Salt to taste

Cayenne to taste

Directions

Heat the butter in a pot over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the onion and sauté until it begins to brown. Add the garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes. Pour in the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Simmer slowly for at least 30 minutes, and up to 2 hours. Adjust the heat and salt levels with the cayenne and salt right before you plan to use this sauce, which is great on ribs, chicken and pork shoulder.
