BBQ sauce .... an easy way to make your own! Making BBQ sauce is quite easy to make with ingredients you readily have on hand. I came up with this recipe when I needed some BBQ sauce for basting some ribs I was making that day. I am sure you can adjust the recipe to your own liking. I like mine on the tangy side and added a bit more acid in the form of vinegar to offset the sweetness. You can easily use honey instead of the preserves and adjust the heat to your liking. I like the chipotle flavor for its smokiness but, you can use any chile flavor or even omit.
Tangy BBQ Sauce
2 TBS molasses
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup vinegar
3 garlic cloves crushed
2 TBS dried chopped onion
1 1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
2 TBS apricot preserves
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp chipotle powder
In a medium saucepan, place all ingredients and simmer for a half hour or so until thickened. It will thicken a bit more as it cools off. It makes about a cup of BBQ sauce. You can easily double or triple the recipe.
