HOMEMADE BARBECUE SAUCE

This sauce is a bit of a family tradition for me- my Dad passed down the mantle to me when I was about 14. It’s a bit like George’s Marvellous Medicine, no 2 batches have ever been the same, and it often depends whats in the cupboard as to what ends up in it! The original always contained a fair amount of red wine and sugar, which I have pulled back on for this version (although I think it still needs some sugar, and for me sweetener won’t do although please do substitute if you prefer to use sweetener). The result is still rich, thick and seriously good with sausages! The key is making sure it simmers for a good long time.
