Recipe: Coca-Q Sauce

COCA-Q SAUCE

2 tablespoons butter
6 green onions, chopped finely
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
3/4 cup dark corn syrup
3/4 cup Coca-Cola
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce

Melt the butter in a small stainless steel or flameproof ceramic saucepan set over low heat. Add the green onions and garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the green pieces of the green onion are well wilted.

Stir in the tomato paste, followed by the corn syrup, Coca-Cola, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco or other hot red pepper sauce. Blend well and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until pleasantly thick.
