 If you have never tried homemade BBQ sauce you NEED to—especially this recipe! It tastes way better than the store-bought varieties. It is so fresh and the flavors balance each other out amazingly well. There is a little bit of sweet, salty, mild spice, and smoke, which together form the BEST homemade BBQ sauce ever.

I love using a smoker to make the most insane-tasting meat. The other day I made slow-cooked pork that was so tender it just fell off the bone. I made this delicious homemade barbecue recipe for pulled pork sandwiches and it was very very good—everyone wanted seconds and thirds.

This recipe is not only good for pork; it is great for any meat or other recipe that calls for barbecue sauce. And it makes a lot so you can store the leftovers for the next many meals as well.

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a large saucepan and cook on medium heat until well mixed. Turn to low heat and simmer for 20 minutes—simmering longer for a thicker sauce, shorter for a thinner one.

Ingredients

2 cups ketchup
2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 1/4 cups red wine vinegar
4 teaspoons hickory-flavored liquid smoke
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

So for all your BBQ needs, try this recipe! I promise you won’t be disappointed. This is the BEST homemade BBQ sauce ever. Enjoy!

Supplies

large saucepan

large spoon

measuring cups and spoons

    I’ve tried making barbeque sauce before with absolutely no success; they always came out way to vinegar-y. Super excited to try this one; thanks for sharing!
