Steps:
- Mix and cook in a large roaster pan in oven at 325 degrees for several hours until thickened to your liking.
- Hot pack into pint jars; seal with hot lids and rings.
- Set jars upside-down on a thick towel for 15 minutes (set the timer); then put right-side up.
- As the jars cool, you'll hear some *kitchen music* which means they've sealed nicely.
- Store in a cool dark cellar or cupboard.
- NOTE: This is the base for my chicken barbecue sauce recipe which calls for 1/2 cup bbq sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce--to DIE FOR!

I used to buy "those cans" of sauce and kept thinking, what a waste of money! I make them homemade now, they're even better, so easy, and cost less, too! And I imagine healthier minusing all the additives and preservatives in those mystery cans... *This recipe can also be used as a bbq sauce for chicken, pork chops, burgers,...

Steps:
- 1. In frying pan, brown ground beef til no longer pink, breaking up into very small pieces as you cook. (If you leave it in larger pieces/chunks, the meat won't all get coated as much, and won't be as good. Will also fall off the bun more easily.) Drain grease. Add rest of ingredients, stir well to mix. Simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes or so, stirring ocaisionally. Serve on warmed hamburger buns or hawaiian rolls with a little american cheese if desired. *If using as a bbq sauce, simmer ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring ocaisionally. Grill meat (chicken, etc.) til just done or almost done. Baste well with sauce and cook 3-5 minutes longer. Turning and basting. **If baking instead of grilling, the bbq-style sauce can be added to the raw meat and baked the entire time at 350 degrees til done. (*Boneless skinless chicken breasts from Walmart take 30 minutes at 350. Uncovered.) I like the ones from Walmart the best, they seem to be the juiciest for whatever reason! HTH! :D
Tips:
- Choose the Right Base: The base of your BBQ sauce is crucial. Tomato-based sauces are classic and versatile, while vinegar-based sauces are tangy and smoky. Mustard-based sauces add a unique tang and spice, while fruit-based sauces offer a sweet and fruity twist.
- Balance Sweetness and Acidity: BBQ sauce should have a balance of sweet and acidic flavors. Use brown sugar, honey, or molasses for sweetness, and vinegar, citrus juice, or tomatoes for acidity. Adjust the proportions to suit your taste.
- Add Depth of Flavor: Incorporate spices, herbs, and aromatics to add depth and complexity to your sauce. Common additions include garlic, onion, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Experiment with different combinations to create a unique flavor profile.
- Simmer and Reduce: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. This process also helps thicken the sauce and concentrate its flavors. Reduce it until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Taste and Adjust: Always taste your sauce throughout the cooking process and make adjustments as needed. Add more sweetness, acidity, or spices to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.
Conclusion:
Creating a delicious BBQ sauce is an art form that requires patience, experimentation, and a passion for flavor. With the right ingredients, techniques, and attention to detail, you can craft a sauce that will elevate your grilled meats, vegetables, and tofu to new heights. So fire up your grill, gather your ingredients, and let the BBQ sauce-making journey begin!
