Note: all fancy cooking terms have been consciously ignored. And my spelling is horrendous.
1L=4cupsish
250ml=1cupish
15ml=1tbspish
30ml oil or bacon fat or whatever you put on your toast
1 onion, chopped pinky nail size
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
125ml beer, wine, or water
1 L ketchup
250ml molasses
125ml brown sugar
15ml liquid smoke
45ml chili powder
15ml pepper
15ml salt
15ml cumin
15ml paprika
1 4L (1 gallonish) pot. Not a frying pan. A pot. Like what you reheat soup in. Or make Mr. Noodle in. Just make sure it will hold 4Ls (1 gallonish) because if it is on the verge of spilling over when all of the ingredients are in it, it will be a nightmare to stir and blend.
1 hand blender - Also called immersion blenders or beurre mixers. I call it a Braun. Use a blender in a pinch, but please make sure the sauce is cooled before blending.
1 stirring device - Please do not use your hand. Laugh all you want but I have seen apprentices do it.
Cook onions and garlic at med heat untill brown. Not black, but brown. If they are black start over. Pour in 125ml of whatever you are drinking at the time to dislodge all of those delicious brown bits. Hopefully it is a dark beer. If it was chocolate milk or a soya frappachino, you might want to start over. Add in ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, and the rest. Stir occasionally. Keep heating it until it starts bubbling and spitting at you while you enjoy the rest of your tasty beverage. Using a hand blender, blend the sauce until you can't see lumps of spices or delicious brown bits. Taste and evaluate. Too ketchupy? More molasses and chili powder. Too sweet? More ketchup. Too flat? More salt, pepper, and/or chili powder. Color off? More paprika and/or chili powder . Too sour? More brown sugar/mollases. Too difficult? Omit all of the cooking and blend all ingredients together from the beginning. Substitute onion powder and granulated garlic for the vegetables.
Have fun. | |

Posted: 1/24/2007 4:53:32 PM | My mom makes BBQ sauce and uses the 'dump' method.....she dumps whatever she has in and it comes out slightly different each time. The following are the basics and you can add different seasonings for either a sweeter or 'hotter' sauce.
Ketchup
Brown Sugar or Maple Syrup
Liquid Smoke
Crushed Red Bell Pepper
Hot Sauce
Garlic salt | |

When I do the meatballs, I actually brown them in the microwave rather than in the frying pan, just to simplify .... still scrumptious! | |

I used to think the same thing, until I discovered Sweet baby Ray’s. It’s a great bottled sauce, the
best that I’ve come across.
When I did make my own, it consisted of:
1 BOTTLE KETCHUP
1 CUP WATER
½ GRANULATED SUGAR
½ CUP MOLASSES
½ CUP APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
1 TABLESPOON WET OR DRY MUSTARD
CAYENNE TO TASTE
TABLESPOON WORCHESTERSHIRE SAUCE
½ BOTTLE COLGINS LIQUID SMOKE
Cook slowly for appx. 30 minutes.
Killer BBQ Meatballs:
1 BOTTLE BBQ SAUCE
1 SMALL JAR APPLE JELLY OR PRESERVES, OR WHATEVER JELLY YOU CHOOSE.
Cook the meatballs in the mixture for 20 – 30 minutes if meatballs are pre-cooked.
Add a dash of cayenne is you want to kick'em up!

Posted: 5/23/2007 11:26:51 PM | 1 Bottle Beer. Spicy Mustard. Crushed (fresh) garlic. Salt. Pepper. Small can of Tomato paste. Start with beer and Tomato paste, start mixing the other stuff. Taste it occasionally, you'll know when it's right.
Use it while cooking. Sear it in.
You will love it.
BTW, I am a Texan, and this is the first time I have shared this.

Posted: 5/24/2007 6:43:44 PM | | Alabama White Sauce! I don't ever measure when I make it, So I can't tell you how, but it is mayonaise, white vinegar, black pepper, sugar (I use Sweet 'n' Low...it dissolves easier) and bit of lemon juice. | |

Posted: 5/24/2007 9:16:58 PM | I wasn't even going to read this thread because I know which sauce I like the best. raerae, you read my mind. I was thinking exactly that when reading this thread and was pleasantly surprised to see some one else thinks the way I do. I mean this:
I used to think the same thing, until I discovered Sweet baby Ray’s. It’s a great bottled sauce, the
best that I’ve come across.
I bought my first bottle in the place I buy my wood and screws and such. I've been using it ever since and now its available nearly everywhere. Back then even grocery stores did not have it! Just the hardware/wood store. The flavor just can not be beat! I love the hickory the best for all around use, honey bbq is the best on chicken or for dunking chicken nuggets, and the regular has a little bit of kick to it but more could be added.
For the newbies to Sweet Baby Rays: It has to be added near the end because of all the sugar... like the last 15-20 minutes. Otherwise it will burn.
Baby Rays has pineapple concentrate in it for the sweetness. Delicious!
My other favorite is a lime and chile bottled sauce. Forget which brand , all the major chain grocery stores have it, offhand but the fruit flavors seem to be the way to go. Ever read the ingredients of A1 steak sauce? Its almost all fruits! | |

Posted: 5/26/2007 11:07:28 PM | I know, I sound like a salesman for that company. I just bought ten bottles of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce today -- they now have sweet vidalia onion BBQ sauce! Very good, had some on baby back ribs!
The lime sauce I was mentioning is Open Pit brand. Normally I didnt care much for their sauces but the lime BBQ is really something different. | |

Posted: 5/27/2007 5:22:26 AM | I had the steaks on the bbq and couldn't find any sauce so I was open to ideas.
I remembered reading in the paper about some unusual bbq sauces that involved using pop!
There was no measuring involved at the time so just pour and adjust until you get the desired consistency...
Use any type of sweet fizzy pop..Coke or 7up work best, ketchup, Worcestershire Sauce and salt/pepper or steak spice as desired.
I have passed this along to some other friends and they reported that adding a small amount of rum made this even better...something about the only pop they had was in someones rum and coke that they unknowingly donated to the cause...
Apparently, if you use the coke version it also makes a good marinade as the acid in the pop is supposed to be some sort of crude tenderizer | |

Posted: 5/31/2007 10:17:44 AM | whitetigress, Ive tried something similar, but with pork chops.
Just put the chops in a casserole and toss on the ketchup, coke, a sprinkle of brown sugar and a good size drizzle of REAL maple syrup, bake for an hour(depending on the thickness of the chops)
Effortless and delicious!! | |

Posted: 5/31/2007 1:19:13 PM | Simple and versatile:
Basic Molasses Barbeque Sauce
½ cup molasses
½ cup Dijon mustard
½ cup cider vinegar
½ cup catsup
Combine ingredients, blending well.
You can sub other mustards, chili sauce for the catsup, malt for the cider vinegar. Add some Jack Daniels for a bit of a kick. I usually throw in some hot sauce for fun. Onion, garlic ... whatever floats yer boat. | |
