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.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Whisking the ingredients together helps ensure the brown sugar dissolves completely.
- 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
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
