   1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
   1 large onion
   3 cloves garlic

When onion and garlic are tender, juice the lemon and add juice to the pan.  Add the cider vinegar, ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke to the sauce pan and stir.

Mix dry ingredients
In a small mixing bowl, combine sugar, dry mustard, and salt. Add dry ingredients to the sauce pan and until dissolved.
