I respect people who won’t share old family recipes, but when I find something good, I want everybody to be able to make it for themselves, and that’s how I feel about my daddy’s barbecue sauce. I truly believe Daddy could have bottled and sold this sauce, it was so popular! It’s a personal preference, but I like a thin, vinegar-based barbecue sauce instead of the thick, ketchup-based sauces.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Chop the onion finely and purée it in a blender with 1/2 cup water. Place the puréed onion in a 2-quart saucepan with additional water to cover. Bring to a boil, and reduce the heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the water has almost evaporated. Add the vinegar, tomato juice, and pepper, and mix well. Bring to a boil, and then stir in the sugar. Immediately remove from the heat to cool and store. Serve with your favorite barbecue dish.
