1/4 c. tomato catsup
3 tbsp. cider vinegar
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. black pepper

Combine catsup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and garlic in a small saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring continually until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in black pepper.

This can be made as much as 2 weeks in advance. Just keep in refrigerator. The longer it sets, the stronger it gets. Great for basting meats, chicken, etc.
