Tabasco Baste

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat grill.

2. 2

   Melt the butter in a saute pan. Add the lemon juice and bring to a simmer over low heat. Take care to not burn the butter or it will not taste very good.

3. 3

   Add the two sauces and the garlic.

4. 4

   Continue cooking over low heat stirring constantly for 5 minutes. This is to allow the garlic to infuse the sauce but not to brown.

5. 5

   Add salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Use baste immediately otherwise the butter will solidify. Use a large pastry brush to baste your chosen meat or poultry.

7. 7

   Once grilled items have cooked for 5 minutes, turn over and apply more baste. Allow grilled items to cook to your desired liking.
