SWEET AND EASY BBQ SAUCE



Sweet and Easy BBQ Sauce image

I have spent two years enjoying Steven Raichlen's BBQ books. The other day I blended two sauce recipes from his BBQ USA and it turned out so well, I made a quadruple batch and jarred it. It is very sweet, so you ncan certainly cut the lemon juice/lime juice down by far. I ran out of lemon juice, hence the lime juice, but think the lime helped adda nice flavor. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of ingredients. The more ingredients you use, the more complex and flavorful your BBQ sauce will be. Don't be afraid to experiment with different fruits, vegetables, spices, and herbs.
  • Balance the flavors. Your BBQ sauce should have a good balance of sweet, sour, salty, and smoky flavors. If one flavor is overpowering, adjust the other ingredients until you achieve a harmonious blend.
  • Cook the sauce low and slow. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours for a richer flavor.
  • Taste the sauce as you go. Make adjustments to the seasonings until you're happy with the flavor. You may need to add more sugar, vinegar, salt, or spices.
  • Let the sauce cool before using. This will allow the flavors to settle and mellow. You can store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Homemade BBQ sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. With a little planning and effort, you can create a sauce that is perfectly tailored to your taste. So next time you're firing up the grill, don't forget to make your own BBQ sauce. You'll be glad you did!
