The method

Step by step

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, chili sauce, Galliano liqueur, dark brown sugar, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce.

    About 3 min

    Cook’s note: Whisking the ingredients together helps ensure the brown sugar dissolves completely.

  2. 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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Remove the sauce from the heat and allow it to cool before transferring to a storage container.
