- 1 cup (250 mL) ketchup

- 2 tbsp (30 mL) each hoisin sauce, honey and chili powder
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) cayenne pepper
Steps
- Heat oil in a large saucepan (as mixture spatters) over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add ketchup, water, peanut butter, lemon juice, hoisin, honey and seasonings.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally and more near the end of cooking to blend flavours and thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Ideal for ribs, burgers or chicken.
