Homemade Barbecue Sauce Recipes

Most Homemade Barbecue Sauce Recipes are kept Top Secret by their Owners. But I’m a nice guy so I’m going to give mine away for free.

OK so let’s get rid of the mystique, most bbq sauces have a tomato sauce base and the magic ingredients are vinegar, sugar and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.

The tomato base can be ketchup, a pasta sauce or as I like to do it, from a tin of chopped tomatoes. If doing the latter, it just needs a bit more simmering to reduce and thicken up, that might be a pain but at least it means I’ve got total control over what’s in my sauce.

What are the top 3 ingredients in ketchup? Tomatoes, vinegar and sugar. Get the similarity? So what you do after adding the Worcestershire is pretty much down to you.

I’m a bit of a garlic fiend so mine will always include a crushed clove (or two). The other variation I like is a bit of spice so I ease down on the garlic and add a red chili or chili sauce.

Anyway, here’s the fundamental homemade recipe:-

• 1 400g can of chopped tomatoes or 1 cup of ketchup
• 6 tablespoons brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons vinegar
• 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dry English mustard
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• A pinch of salt and pepper
• Red Chillies / Chili Sauce to your taste.

Just throw everything into the saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer for 45 mins or so until you have a nice thick sauce.

Remember, you can always vary chilies and garlic to suit.
