Mary’s BBQ Sauce

This recipe has been in my family as long as I can remember. It was the only BBQ sauce we used (and we used it on everything) Looking back, I find it very strange for the time and place. The eastern shore of Nova Scotia in the late 60’s and early 70’s and my mother was using crushed chilies? If I was making it now there is a good possibility I would use Cock brand chili garlic sauce instead of the crushed chili.

1 tbsp Oil

1 small onion, finely diced

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup white vinegar

1 cup ketchup

1 tsp prepared mustard

2 shakes Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp crushed chillies

Sweat the onion in the oil. Do not brown. Add the remaining ingredients.

Simmer until well combined.
