Lexington Style BBQ Sauce

This is my grandmother's recipe for Lexington NC style BBQ Sauce.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups (946mL) white vinegar
• 2/3 cups (142mL) sugar
• 1 1/2cups (355mL) Heinz ketchup (any ketchup is fine, Heinz is best)
• Juice, pulp and rinds of one lemon
• 1/2 stick of butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Black pepper and Texas Pete to taste

Method

Mix all the ingredients and simmer 2-3 hours until desired thickness. Keeps forever so if you want to double the recipe go for it.
