Homemade BBQ Sauce

[joel2000]

Hey guys and gals,
There are a lot of threads on smoking and rubs and such but how about some good barbecue SAUCE recipes.
Post’em if you got’em. Looking to try some good homemade stuff vs the store bought.

Thanks!

I keep mine very simple. I like a BBQ sauce that has some tanginess, some heat, and a little sweet, but that doesn't cover the smokiness of the meat. I use this sauce as a basting sauce and finish sauce. 3 cups Heinz Ketchup, 1.5 cups apple cider vinegar, 1.5 cups white vinegar, cayenne pepper to taste, sugar to taste, and .75 cup of finely chopped WHITE (not sweet) onion. For basting I add an additional cup of apple cider vinegar. Tasty and easy!

I have used this one for years and someone else has posted it here before. I think it came from a bbq around ATL. I leave the butter out sometimes.

In a 2 quart sauce pan, over low heat, melt ¼ cup of butter then add:
1¾ cups Catsup
¼ cup French's Yellow Mustard
¼ cup white vinegar

Blend until smooth, then add:
½ tablespoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
½ oz. Liquid Smoke
1 oz. Worcestershire Sauce
1 oz. Crystal Hot Sauce or ½ oz. Tabasco
½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Blend until smooth, then add:
¼ cup dark brown sugar
Stir constantly, increase heat to simmer (DO NOT BOIL) for approx. 10 minutes.
Makes approx. 3½ cups of sauce

I've made this recipe a few times, and the sauce is really quite good. Generally, I do not go to the trouble of making my own sauce, since there are so many good options out there in the marketplace. But this one is worth the effort.
