Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp. butter
  • 1/4 cup onion minced (I use yellow)
  • 2 tsp. dry mustard
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 3/4 cup tomato puree
  • 1/2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and onions.
  • Saute for a few minutes until the onions are softened.  If you have whole mustard seeds like me, crush them with a mortar and pestle.  Otherwise, use dry mustard powder.
  • Add the mustard, paprika, and salt to the butter and onions.
  • Stir this up and add the honey.
  • Add the tomato sauce.
  • Add the chili powder.
  • Stir it all up and let it simmer for 30 minutes or so.  Serve immediately or chill first.  We loved it on salmon, and it would be good on chicken, too, or whatever else you like.  It's lightly sweet, not too spicy, and a little bit smoky.
