I'm looking for a good basic recipe to make my own,I prefer a sweetish with a little kick of spice.anybody have one to share?

 

[BamaProud]

1 cup beer
1 cup apple cider
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup coffee
1 cup beef or chicken stock
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
2 teaspoons kosher or sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups of tomato sauce
1 to 2 cups your favorite mild or hot salsa(hot if you want the kick)
Kosher or sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to mix. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt, if necessary. Reduce on the stovetop until you get the desired thickness.

One of my favorites that you won't see around here and has that sweet/tangy taste your looking for:

1 Cup- Yellow Mustard
1/4 Cup- Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup- Sugar
3/4 Cup- Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 Cup- Water
1/4 Tsp- Cayenne powder
1 Tsp- Both Salt and Pepper
2 Tsp- Onion Powder
2 Tsp- Garlic Powder
2 Tsp- Dried Mustard Powder
1 TBS- Chili Powder

Whisk this all together then simmer 20-30 minutes until it gets a nice consistency.
(I suggest mixing this up a week or so before your bbq for best results, it gets better with time.)
I eat this on EVERYTHING pulled pork, chicken, grilled tenderloin, had it on hot dogs and hamburgers today.

my favorite is simple. take the juice/faqt off the porkshoulder, add some texas pete and a touch of vinegar and whisk. it is a light red, thin sauce. i dont like the thick sweet and pasty stuff

Secret Ingredient (if you really want to make it)

look up some that have balsamic vinegar in it,1 cup of that & a cup of brown sugar a cup of ketchup some chiploti powder simmer for 30 minutes, hard to beat for some thing different, it may take a little more vinegar to get it thin & work it down about 1/3 of what you started with

 

[redblood]

not crazy about ketchup in anything. seems a lot of bbq recipe rely on it

 

[mike243]

After its simmered you cant tell it has any in it to be truthful

 

[huntinkev]

you can't really taste the ketchup in mine either. there is a lot more vinegar than ketchup in mine. It is a thin sauce that the meat will soak up. It's not a thick lay on top of the meat sauce.

 

[mike243]

I think its added to get a texture that folks can relate to & not as strong.a filler by any other name lol

If your looking for something in the non tomato line that is sweet and spicy this is what I go with...
1 1/2 Cup distilled white vinegar
1 tsp of your favorite hot sauce
2 Tbs Brown Sugar
1 TBS Salt
2 Tsp Crushed red pepper
2 Tsp black pepper

Simple yet has a great taste

I use Panola Cajun Hot Sauce. I love the taste of it in anything, I put it in different sauces, marinades, you name it.
This is the cut back version of the recipe, I mixed up 5 gallon today for a bbq this coming weekend.

i like it. someone of this stuff now seems better fitted to pour on pancakes or french fries rather than ribs or pork shoulder

 

[PcDeer]

Agreed redblood, when I cook I always have "mixed company" so I have to mix up a couple different kinds of sauce. I have quit making tomato based sauce because I either just hate it or don't know how to make it. When I mix it up I always get a funny can't describe it taste. For those who like something a little thicker on their meat I make the mustard sauce I posted earlier and I will make the one above for the rest of the people.

 

[diamond hunter]

PC deer,where can I get that Cajun sauce you described??Also 5 gallons??Good heavens how many people do you have come over??

 

[PcDeer]

I have bought it at the local Fred's in town and I have also bought it at Sam's and the GFS in Cool Springs. Ha I have a very large family and several friends coming over. I will have some left over for another pig roast I'm doing first of August and I have a couple friends who always take some with them. Oh yea my favorite Chicken marinade has that hot sauce in it. 1 1/2 Cup Soy Sauce and 3 Tbs of Panola Cajun hot sauce soak for about 4 hrs and grill. Its amazing imo.

 

[diamond hunter]

ThanksIm going to buy some tomorrow.I ordered a 80lb dressed pig today for the first of August.Excited.

 

[PcDeer]

I did a 75 lber for a friends birthday a few weeks ago. Those little ones are some good eating. I'd prefer a 80lber over a 200lber anyday.

If you like sweet sauce this looks good but I would change one thing, I would take the 1.5tsp of liquid smoke walk to the sink and pour it down the drain. Try finding some smoked paprika, add 1/2 tbs or a tbs depending on "smokiness" desired and you'll get a lot better flavor. This is just my opinion on liquid smoke, I don't know what it is but I eat a bottle of TUM's every time I taste it.

Yeah, but that's not BBQ sauce, nor is it a recipe.....it's making Ketchup and Zesty Italian taste worse by mixing them together. Hell, if you're already in the same aisle, why not just buy the bottled sauce then? The post was about easy, but also about a recipe......

Heck mix it up and taste it,I also said you could tweak it with heat or sweet there einstein.Zesty Itialian is basically vinegar,olive oil and spices,main ingredients of most sauces listed here and people dont realize it.These are Ingredients that are in your Fridge when you are grillin at the house.You dont grill at the store.
