Barbeque Sauce Recipes:
My favorite homemade barbeque sauce!

I use this on beef, on chicken, on pork, and in bean dishes.

Stored in the fridge, this sauce will keep for about 2 weeks.

  Substitutions
  • Use soy sauce in place of the tamari.

  • Use another type of vinegar instead of cider vinegar.

  • Use maple syrup or honey instead of molasses.

  Ideas for making this recipe your own

  • Add your own choice of spices. How about oregano instead of thyme? Or some dried mustard? Cayenne? Paprika?

  • Spice up your sauce by adding some Worcestershire sauce, or a bit of hot sauce, or some minced chili peppers or red pepper flakes.

  Tips

  • Use a spatula to scrape every drop of this tasty sauce from the blender container.

  • Molasses is messy! I store the molasses container on top of a pie plate in the cupboard. It always drips.
