The method
Step by step
- 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, chili sauce, Galliano liqueur, dark brown sugar, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce.

- 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Don't let the sauce come to a rolling boil, as the sugars can burn easily.

Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring periodically until the sauce has thickened slightly.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools, so don't reduce it too much.
