¼ cup lemon juice

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
⅓ cup ketchup

Remove pan from heat and stir in ketchup. Use immediately, or cover and chill in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Using BBQ Sauce
Since barbecue sauce is so high in sugar (from the sugar, onions, and ketchup) it can burn quite easily. When cooking with barbecue sauce on a grill or under the broiler, add it during the last 20 to 30 minutes of cooking, just long enough to heat the sauce through and form a glaze. If it cooks at high heat any longer, it will burn.
