Recipe By : Smoke and Spice by Cheryl and Bill Jamison
Ingredients
3 Tablespoons butter
1/4 Cup minced onion
1 Cup white vinegar
1 Cup tomato sauce
1/4 Cup worcestershire sauce
2 Teaspoons sugar
1 Teaspoon salt
½ Teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Dash tabasco sauce
The center of mid-South barbecue, Memphis offers a range of sauces that take the high middle ground between Eastern and Western styles. Like this version, they are often medium-bodied mixtures, moderate in sweet, heat, and everything else except taste.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and saute for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the onions begin to turn golden. Stir in the remaining ingredients, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the mixture thickens, approximately 20 minutes. Stir frequently.
Use the sauce warm. It keeps, refrigerated, for a couple of weeks.
Basic All-American Barbecue Sauce
Ingredients
4 Large onions -- chopped
3 Tablespoons vegetable oil -- for sauteing
1 28 Oz Can tomato puree
3 28 Oz Cans tomatoes -- with juice
2 1/2 Cups white vinegar
4 Tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
4 Tablespoons granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons salt
2 Tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
2 Tablespoons paprika
2 Tablespoons chili powder
4 Tablespoons molasses
1 Cup orange juice
2 Tablespoons Liquid Barbecue Smoke
8 Tablespoons brown mustard -- Dijon-style
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, saute the onion in the oil over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Add all the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered at the lowest possible heat for 4 hours. (This long cooking removes as much acidity as possible from the tomatoes.)
Puree sauce in 2, 3, or more batches to prevent it from spilling out of your food processor or blender.
