Barbecue Marinade

Preparation time: 5 min Servings: 4

Cooking time: 10 min

Ingredients:

1/2 cup onions, chopped

1/2 tsp black pepper, coarsely ground

1 tbsp water

1 tbsp prepared horseradish

1/3 cup ketchup

1/3 cup cider vinegar

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1-1/2 tbsp brown sugar

Cooking Directions:
Cook onion and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat about 3 minutes, or until onion is tender. Add remaining ingredients and continue cooking over medium heat 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cool thoroughly before adding to meat or poultry. Remember to always marinate in the refrigerator. Allow about 1/2 cup marinade for each 1 lb-2 lb of meat. Turn meat occasionally during marinating so that all sides are equally exposed to the marinade. For flavor only, marinate 15 minutes or as long as 2 hours. For tenderizing, allow at least 6 hours. Remaining marinade may be brushed on the meat during grilling, or used as a sauce, provided it is brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute prior to serving. Makes about 3/4 cup.
