I've been working hard on a BBQ sauce today that's good with pork. I have tried a few options so far and I haven't really been impressed. Just looking for some ideas?
If there is one thing that I have learned about making tomato based sauces it is that the first thing you have to do is make ketchup
. Look at your ingredients and then compare them to the ingredients listed on a bottle of ketchup. See the similarity? The simplest easiest way to make a tomato based sauce is to start with a bottle of ketchup and add your spices and sugars that suit your tastes.
OK, enough preaching, this is a sauce that I like on pork and chicken-
35oz bottle of ketchup
2 cups of light brown sugar
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup apple juice
2 TBS Worcestershire sauce
1 TBS granulated garlic
1 TBS granulated onion
1 TBS black pepper
El Yucateco Habenero hot sauce to taste
Simmer on low-medium heat until it is very hot, stirring ocassionally.
