Tomato Based Barbecue Sauce Recipes

HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk all ingredients together in a medium saucepan.
• Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer (uncovered) for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.

SOUTHERN BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan. Add the minced garlic and cook for 15 to 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant.
• Add the ketchup, cider vinegar, water, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, paprika, bay leaf, Tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice. Do not add the butter at this point. Simmer the sauce over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch for burning and lower the temperature if needed.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter. Once melted through, let sauce cool for 10 to 15 minutes before using.
• If making ahead of time, cool sauce for 30 minutes and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for four to five days after preparation.
• Serve and enjoy.

Use immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
