1/4 c. chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp. butter

1/3 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 c. bottled lemon juice
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. beef or chicken flavor instant bouillon or 2 beef or chicken flavor bouillon cubes

In small saucepan, cook onion and garlic in butter until tender. Add remaining ingredients; simmer uncovered 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use as a basting sauce for beef, chicken or pork. Refrigerate leftovers.

MICROWAVE: In 1 quart glass measure melt butter on 100% power (high) 30 to 45 seconds. Add onion and garlic; cook on 100% power (high) 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until tender. Add remaining ingredients.
