Directions for Marsala Barbeque Sauce

1
Make a reduction...
Pour the wine into a saucepan over medium heat and add the onion, salt and pepper. Bring to a medium boil until reduced by half. (If you have a gas stove please note that a fortified wine like Marsala will give off vapors that are flammable when the wine is heated. Watch the pan and keep a lid handy!)
2
Mix the base...
In a separate container mix the catsup, mustard, and orange juice. Blend thoroughly.
3
Add the base to the reduction...
When the wine and onions are reduced, add the mixture and stir until mixed.
4
Add the flavors and reduce again...
Add the broth, chili powder, and brown sugar. Bring to a slow boil, stirring occasionally until reduced by 1/3. The sauce will darken as it reduces and you may want to add more salt and pepper to your liking.
Tip
Works well as a basting sauce for smoked meats or as a condiment on sandwiches. Can also be easily doubled or tripled as needed.
