Here's another bonus recipe that is handy to have in case you love BBQ, but can't seem to find a store bought sauce without a ton of high fructose corn syrup. I developed this recipe myself by combining a few that I have seen. The base of this recipe is ketchup. I know....ketchup is full of HFCS too. Right? Well, there are a few out there without it. I used Simply Heinz. Just the basics in that ketchup.
Barbecue Sauce
Makes 1 1/2 cups
1 cup good ketchup
1/4 cup molasses (mild flavor)
1/4 cup lemon juice (fresh- 1 lemon)
1 tsp. dry ground mustard
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. chili powder
2 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp. liquid smoke
1 tsp. worcestershire sauce
Add all ingredients to a saucepan and mix well over medium heat until bubbling, sugar is dissolved and thickened. About 7-10 minutes. The hardest part is mixing in all the dry mustard lumps:)
And there you have it...just a tad under 1 and 1/2 cups of yummy sauce. Use any way you like!
Keeps for 4 weeks in the fridge in a canning jar and tight lid and 6 months in the freezer using a freezer jar. Make sure you leave enough headspace in the jar if you are going to freeze.
