bbq sauce

This is a bbq sauce that I invented today. I needed some sauce for some frozen meat balls I had (sometimes I do cheat, but that is OK). I had some basic things in the fridge, but nothing that any of the recipes I found online called for. It is a very simple recipe as you will see and has ingredients that most of us have in our pantry. Unfortunately,I did not use a measuring spoon so I am going to give approximate measurements. You may have to add a little bit more if you think it needs it.

1 green onion
1 tbs. butter
2 tbs. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. ginger
2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup of water
2 tbs. mustard
1 tbs. sugar
2 tbs. molasses
1 tbs. honey
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp celery salt
pepper to taste

chop up onion and saute in butter, add 1 tbs of garlic and half of the ginger while sauteing. When onion is tender, add remaining ingredients and simmer for about ten minute stirring frequently. Va la! You are finished!

My kids and my husband Loved!! it. If you try it let me know how it turns out.
