Homemade Barbecue Sauce
Homemade Barbecue Sauce is ready in just 20 minutes and perfect on ribs, chicken, and so much more. This tangy and sweet sauce is made from scratch with wholesome ingredients (and no ketchup) and will have you licking your fingers!
Ingredients
- 3 cups pureed tomatoes (about 1 standard jar of tomato passata)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium.
- Cover the saucepan with a lid but leave the lid slightly lifted on one side (I rest the saucepan lid on a wooden spoon to keep it slightly lifted). This will reduce splatter as the sauce simmers but still let steam escape. Simmer the sauce for 15 minutes or until the sauce has reduced to a desired consistency. [Note: If the sauce is simmering too vigorously and splattering, reduce the heat to medium-low.]
- Taste and adjust the seasonings to suit your own tastes. Enjoy.
