Instructions

  1. Heat butter or olive oil in a saucepan. Add onion, green pepper, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until onion and green pepper are just tender, stirring occasionally. 
  2. Combine remaining ingredients. Add to vegetable mixture; stir to blend well. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
  3. Simmer over low heat 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are completely soft and flavors have blended.
  4. Let sauce cool completely. Pour into a mason jar or sealed container and refrigerate. Brush on meats before grilling, or use as a condiment.

Notes

  • Kosher note: If you're keeping kosher, you won't want to use butter in this sauce, since you'll likely use it with meat. Try margarine instead; olive oil would also work fine.
