3 tablespoon Butter

One fourth cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper

The center of midSouth barbecue, Memphis offers a range of sauces that
take the high middle ground between Eastern and Western styles. Like this
version, they are often mediumbodied 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.
