Making my own barbecue sauce

[alan Maples]

After giving it some thought, I've decided to make my own barbecue sauce. Should be a fun project.

I have a couple of old family recipes but have not tried them....yet.
I do mix a couple of store-bought brands together for comps.
Need updates and results.

I have made a Chipotle with Adobo BBQ sauce a few times...well worth the effort. I say go for it and post up!

I have a number of recipes for BBQ sauce. THe fun is tweaking the seasonings to your taste.

Equal parts whiskey, brown sugar, red wine vinegar and chili sauce (or ketchup if need be) Season to YOUR taste

I enjoy making my own sauce sometimes. I usually start with Bill’s BDSE recipe then modify from there.

I joined this site several years ago as an experienced but curious BBQ guy. I smoked a lot of meat before joining but much more since joining. I have a couple of outstanding sauce recipes that I have held close to the breast for sentimental reasons but after learning so much from my friends...

Made the first batch three days ago. It's good, but version 2 will be better.

I enjoy making my own bbq sauce. I have a go to recipe that I use so I always have some bbq sauce but I do want to branch out and make different bbq sauces.

I think that making your own sauce is always a great way to experiment with flavors and tweak things to your liking. If you're into trying out other homemade sauces too, you should definitely check out how to make yum yum sauce. It’s that creamy pink sauce they serve at hibachi places, and it goes great with so many dishes—grilled meat, veggies, you name it.

I started making my own BBQ sauce when I realized there weren't really any pulled pork finishing sauces available on the grocery store shelves. Then my wife and I went low carb for about four years and I cant stand the artificial sweeteners they use in sugar free sauces, not even the sauces people rave about, they are just nasty to me...I can taste almost all artificial sweeteners, they jump right out at me. Except for one called "Natural Mate". Using some erythritol based brown sugar replacement with some Natural Mate makes a sauce I can stand that is sugar free.

Making your own barbecue sauce sounds like a fun project! I’ve done it a few times, and it’s awesome how you can adjust it to your own taste. I usually start with ketchup, vinegar, and brown sugar, then throw in some garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a little cayenne for heat. It’s all about tweaking it until it’s just right—sometimes I even add a bit of honey or mustard for a twist!
