  Not all folks like Worcestershire sauce… I think it has something to do with the anchovies. Anyway, if you want an anchovy-free version, try this one: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/diy-essentials-homemade-worcestershire-sauce.html?r=1

  Where are all the cool photos? Well, two reasons; 1. I have already made these recipes and they are sitting in my freezer… yes, you can freeze these recipes. 2. In our current situation (virus), I do not want to make something, just for the express purpose of photographing it. In most cases, I would have neighbors to give this too; however, for the present, I am refraining from giving away food. If properly stored in the fridge, it will last 2 – 3weeks. If frozen, it will last for 4 – 5 months.

  Step 4
  Where is the Ketchup? It is true that most BBQ sauces use ketchup; however, I prefer the mellow flavor of a good tomato sauce. But, since ketchup is a tomato-based product with vinegar, and sugar, I adjusted my ingredients accordingly.

  Add the butter and oil to a pot over medium heat. When the foaming subsides, add the onions, and stir until softened, but not browned, about 2 – 3 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 60 seconds. Add the chicken stock or filtered water, and stir, scraping up and brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the remainder of the ingredients; except the salt and stir to combine. Bring up to a simmer and stir until it thickens to your satisfaction. While it is simmering add salt, a bit at a time, until you like what you taste. Store in the fridge using a non-reactive jar with a tight-fitting lid, until needed.

  This one is easy/peasy. Add all the ingredients; except the red-pepper flakes and salt, to a saucepan over medium heat, stir to combine, and bring up to a simmer. While it is simmering, season with the pepper flakes and salt, to taste. Store in the fridge using a non-reactive jar with a tight-fitting lid, until needed. That is about it.
