The Worlds Most Famous Barbecue Sauce Recipe
I’ve called this the worlds most famous barbecue sauce recipe because sets the standard by which all other bbq sauce recipes have to be judged.
Made in just 30 minutes, it really doesn’t matter what you’re cooking, this sauce is one of the best all rounders so the best advice I can give is “get grilling and enjoy!”
Just check out the list of ingredients and you'll see that everything you need to make a great tasting barbecue sauce is there. Rather than ketchup though, I've use tomato paste the base because I think that this gives a barbecue sauce a more natural tomato flavor, the sweetness then coming from the onions and the addition of sugar.
Pour the oil into a saucepan, add the onions and fry for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent. Stir in the tomato purée and then add the rest of the ingredients. Bring the mixture to the boil and simmer for 10 – 15 minutes.
TIP - It’s important to stir the tomato purée in separately in order to get a smooth barbecue sauce. If you just add it with the other ingredients it’ll just form as red lumps in the barbecue sauce and you’ll have no fun at all trying to smooth out the sauce.
Note that vinegar is a natural preservative so your sauce will keep for upto a week if refrigerated.
