Homemade BBQ Sauce Recipe

Cook the ingredients together. The recipe doesn't mention anything about heating the sauce, but it tastes significantly better once it has been cooked. Initially, the sauce had a gel-like consistency, but after cooking it, you will enjoy a much more flavorful sauce.

Great BBQ sauce recipe!!! I halved the ingredients for my smoked baby back ribs and it turned out fantastic. No need to use a blender, just mix everything in a bowl. I suggest heating it in a saucepan on the stove until it boils for about a minute. Then let it cool off the heat. This method helps thicken the sauce and lets the flavors really shine. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, stick to the original recipe; otherwise, reduce the sugar quantity. For a smokier flavor, add 1/2 tsp of liquid smoke for a half recipe or 1 tsp for the full amount. Highly recommended!

Wow, this sauce is truly exceptional. It's fantastic as is, but if you incorporate my adjustments, you'll have the best barbecue sauce you've ever tasted. Instead of 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, use 1/2 cup. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic. Skip the pepper sauce and use 1 teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper. If this doesn't turn out to be the most amazing sauce you've ever tried, feel free to reach out and let me know.

I've been preparing this sauce for over a year now and it's simply the best for grilling on the barbecue, or topping burgers or meatloaf instead of using ketchup. I throw all the ingredients into a blender and blend for 2 minutes. I skip the hot sauce and use cowboy candy marinade instead of water to give it a touch more sweetness and a hint of heat. I also substitute apple cider vinegar for the red wine vinegar and simmer it down for 5 minutes, resulting in a richer flavor, smoother texture, and a milder tang from the vinegar. My family adores it and we no longer buy barbecue sauce from the store.

A great option for a homemade sauce! Following advice from other reviewers, I simmered it for 5 minutes. However, I found it to be too sweet even after reducing the sugar by a quarter cup. I plan to use three-quarters cup next time. I also added extra Worcestershire sauce and opted for regular mustard. I'll skip the water next time to avoid a thin consistency. This sauce is a fantastic alternative to store-bought options.

This dish was absolutely delicious! Following the suggestions of previous reviewers, I boiled the ingredients and included 1/2 cup of black Bacardi rum, which really enhanced the flavor. Just like others have mentioned, I am now convinced that I will never purchase BBQ sauce again.

I concur with another reviewer that this barbecue sauce was too acidic for my liking, as pointed out by my taste testers. To balance it out, I added extra ketchup, water, and brown sugar (substituted with Brown Sugar Splenda). I also incorporated a touch of liquid smoke, minced garlic, and simmered it on the stove for a few minutes. With these adjustments, it deserves a rating of 4+ stars in my book.

This recipe is fantastic as it is, but I like to customize it a bit. In my version, I use 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of merlot instead of red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 6 drops of habanero sauce, and I swap out dry mustard for honey dijon mustard. I mix everything together in a small pot, bring it to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes while stirring constantly. This sauce also freezes really well.

This sauce is delicious. We tried it on our smoked ribs and it was fantastic. The only changes I made were skipping the blender and simmering it in a pot for about 5 minutes on medium heat.

Here is the rewritten review: To reduce the salt content and thicken the sauce, try using unsalted tomato paste with onion and garlic powder instead of ketchup. Simmering the sauce will also help thicken it. It tastes just as delicious and is much less salty.

I was preparing pork spare ribs and realized I didn't have any BBQ sauce in my pantry. In addition to needing a rub (which I found elsewhere), I decided to try this barbecue sauce recipe. Let me tell you, it's truly one of the best barbecue sauces I've ever tasted... and I'm from Texas! I added a hint of liquid smoke and a touch of Worcestershire sauce to enhance the flavor even more. What's great about this recipe is that you can customize it to your family's preferences without having to overhaul the base. It's a definite winner and will now be my go-to sauce before considering a trip to the store to buy any. Thank you for sharing, @JRNEUMILLER!

I really enjoyed it! I warmed up the sauce to enhance its flavor.

Repetitive review. Overwhelming red wine vinegar flavor dominates all other tastes. Extremely disappointing.

This dish was amazing! I cooked a big Costco pork loin in my slow cooker this morning, and by dinner, it was so tender and easy to shred. Combined the pulled pork with this sauce to make mouthwatering BBQ pork sandwiches. I didn't use a blender as suggested; instead, I whisked the sauce in a saucepan while it simmered. I replaced dry mustard with regular mustard since I didn't have any, and the result was just perfect! I will definitely be making this again.

The brown sugar creates a delicious coating, while the vinegar provides the perfect touch of tanginess. I will definitely be making this recipe again!

I enhanced the flavor by incorporating 2 tablespoons of liquid smoke, resulting in the most delicious barbecue sauce I've ever tasted.

I used regular vinegar, yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 3 ounces of dark rum to make a thick, delicious sauce. Boiled it for 5-10 minutes until it reached the perfect consistency. The flavor was absolutely amazing!

I enhanced the recipe by incorporating a teaspoon of garlic powder and reducing the amount of brown sugar by 1/4 cup. Additionally, I believe that substituting apple cider vinegar for wine vinegar would result in a more favorable flavor profile. These adjustments catered more to my personal preferences.

Quick and delicious! I only cooked it for 5 minutes and the texture was amazing. Highly recommend! 🌟💖
