Varieties of Sauces

A Very Simple Barbecue Sauce without Vinegar

1 cup ketchup
1 Tbs. Worcestershire
1 Tbs. mustard
1 1/2 Tbs. oil
salt and pepper to taste
Tabasco sauce (optional)

Simmer these together for 15 minutes.
Use this on chicken, ribs, either on the grill or cooked in the oven.

Homemade Barbecue Sauce #2

1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup brown sugar (firmly packed of course!)
2 Tbs butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp steak sauce (like A1)
2 tsp honey
1 tsp mustard (the liquid yellow kind, not the dry)
1/4 tsp or more cayenne

Mix everything together in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer, partially covered to avoid horrid splatters on your stove, about half an hour, stirring frequently.

This is great on ribs, chicken.


My Favorite Homemade Barbecue Sauce Recipe

1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3 Tbs brown sugar
3 Tbs Worcestershire
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp liquid smoke (optional)

I rarely use the liquid smoke since I typically use this with ribs I'm grilling outside on the barbecue. They get real smoke flavor instead! If you like the smokiness and are cooking in a crockpot or in the oven, you might want to add that though.

Mix everything together in a saucepan and simmer, partially covered, about 20 minutes.

Make Your Own Chili Sauce

1/2 cup tomato sauce
2 Tbs. brown sugar
1 Tbs. vinegar
dash of cloves
1 minced garlic clove
1 Tbs. chili powder

Simmer together for 5 minutes.
