Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Warm the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and see-through, 5-6 min.

2. 2

   Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds, until it smells sweet.

3. 3

   Stir in the ketchup, cider vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, black pepper, cayenne and water.

4. 4

   Bring to a gentle bubble, turn the heat to low and let it cook, lid off, for 15-20 min, stirring often so it does not catch. It is ready when it coats the back of a spoon thickly.

5. 5

   Taste and balance with a splash more vinegar for tang or a little more sugar for sweetness.

6. 6

   For a smooth sauce, blend until no pieces of onion remain.

7. 7

   Cool, then keep in a covered jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
