Dr. Pepper BBQ Sauce

I made this for the first time about 5 years ago and it was a big hit!  I have made it for every 4th of July BBQ since!

Ingredients:

4 tbsp butter

1 small yellow onion, minced (I put mine in a blender)

5 cloves of garlic, minced

1 small can tomato paste

1 cup ketchup

2 tbsp yellow mustard (you might prefer adding mustard spice)

1-12 oz can Dr. Pepper

1/2 cup cider vinegar

1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

2  tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp ground white pepper

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

In a large saucepan, melt butter.  Once butter is melted, add the onion and garlic.  Saute until the onion is fully cooked.

Add cayenne, white pepper, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and cider vinegar.  Stir until wet ingredients become one.

Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.  Allow sauce to boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Reduce the heat and let simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Enjoy!
