Texas BBQ Sauce

• 2 Medium Yellow Onions (chopped fine)
  
• 3 c Ketchup
  
• 1 c Salted Butter
  
• 1 c Smokey Rendered Pork Fat (see note)
  
• 1/2 c White Vinegar
  
• 1/4 c Worcestershire Sauce
  
• 1 T Crystal Hot Sauce
  
• 1 T Cracked Black Pepper
  
• 1 T Cayenne Pepper
  
• 1 T Salt
  
• 1 Tspn Garlic Salt
  
• 1 Bay Leaf
  

Combine Butter and Fat in a large pot over low heat. Heat until butter melts. Add onions. Cook, stirring, until onions soften. Add dry ingredients. Cook for 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook, stirring, for about an hour. Cool overnight. Reheat slowly.

Note: to get the smokey fat - put 1.5 pounds pork fat, three pieces thick smoked bacon and one smoked ham hock in a covered roasting pan and cook in a 225 degree oven for a couple hours then move (uncovered) to the stove and boil off any water. Skim, cool, skim, etc. This will yield about twice as much fat as you need (grin).
