Becky's BBQ Sauce

This thick, tangy barbecue sauce is excellent with chicken and pork. It starts with a subtle sweet flavor but ends with a tang.

1/2 cup low-sodium ketchup
1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons spicy mustard
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook 15 minutes over medium heat stirring well.
Carefully blend sauce until smooth using an immersion blender. (Or transfer to a traditional blender being careful with the hot liquid.)
Cook the blended BBQ sauce for another 10-15 minutes.
