Homemade Barbecue Sauce
Spoon by Inox Artisans.
I know there are some foods that are such favorites you won’t even attempt a homemade version, but then there are some foods that only homemade will do.
My Homemade Barbecue Sauce is ridiculously easy. Simply measure your ingredients, stir and simmer. Serve. It cannot be easier. And it tastes way beyond better than any sauce I’ve tasted from a store.
Add this sauce to your favorite bbq recipe, or use my slow cooker version of Pulled Pork Barbecue. There is a homemade rub included in the recipe, too! Pictured is my Quick and Easy Coleslaw.
The sauce can be used in place of wherever you have used a bottle in the past…Pork BBQ, hamburgers, chicken, loaded BBQ nachos, french fries, etc.
The apple cider vinegar listed in the ingredients is your basic ACV. It is not the more expensive vinegar “with Mother.”
If you use “no salt added” tomato sauce, you will need to add salt to your sauce. I use Hunt’s brand tomato sauce and Heinz brand ketchup.
The sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container in your refrigerator, or frozen for up to 6 months.
Enjoy!
