Because the barbecue sauce is the most important deal in barbecuing, some people who have perfected the art of making the barbecue sauce claim that their recipe is best. Some give the recipe away, while others claim it as secret barbecue sauce recipe and sell it before you are given the permission to know it.
A lot of barbecue sauce recipes, as you know, are available. Some of them you find in cookbooks, television or in the Web; some are suggested by family and friends. What you should know is that even if it is very convenient for you to just buy a readymade barbecue sauce, there is still nothing that can beat a homemade barbecue sauce. You do not need to know about the secret barbecue sauce recipe of other people; you can make one yourself. It is always best that you opt to create a homemade sauce because with such, you can make sure that no chemicals will ever be added in your sauce and that you can be proud to tell your guests or family that you made the sauce yourself.
It is okay to get a few help from people or the internet when you start trying to come up with the perfect barbecue sauce. You may fail once or twice, but that should not stop you from coming up with your own secret recipe. It is best that you follow your instincts. Try a few recipes and ask your friends what they think about them. You will never know that your secret barbecue sauce recipe will be listed as one of the best sauces in town!
This thick and flavorful BBQ sauce recipe came about as the result of some experimenting, and it has become a much-requested favorite of friends and family (in fact, they demanded that I would write down the recipe). The whiskey gives the sauce a subtle, smoky flavor, and simmering it cooks away the alcohol so you can serve it without a problem if you are having children over for you barbecue party.
The recipe makes quite a bit of BBQ sauce - enough for 2-3 racks of baby back ribs - and can easily be doubled (or halved). It is great on chicken, ribs and chops, but I like it the most on barbecue ribs (but that's not a big surprise, I just love barbecue ribs the most).
Ingredients:
1/2 stick (1/4 C) unsalted butter or margarine
2 8-oz. cans tomato sauce
1 C ketchup
1/4 C white vinegar
1/2 C whiskey
1 C packed brown sugar
2 T molasses
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. celery salt
1 tsp. chili powder
Melt the butter or the margarine in a medium saucepan. When it's melted, add the remaining ingredients and whisk them together. Bring everything to a simmer but don't let it boil. Let it simmer for half an hour. Stir the mixture frequently.
When you are grilling the meat, you should brush the BBQ sauce over the meat for the last 5 to 10 minutes of grilling.
A couple of variations:
For an Asian twist, substitute 2 T bottled teriyaki sauce for the molasses. Or for an extra kick, add 1 tsp. or more of Tobasco or other hot pepper sauce to taste.
There are a lot of different barbecue sauces out there, but this is one of my personal favorites. Just try to see if you like it, you might be surprised.
Having hosted different barbecue parties myself, I know that it isn't as hard as it seems. With the right information you can go a long way. If you like to find more barbecue recipes, or barbecue tips you should take a look at my website: barbeque recipe blog.
