When HOMEMADE BARBECUE SAUCE is this good, we’ll eat it on everything!

Finally, a HOMEMADE BARBECUE SAUCE that’s way better than anything you can purchase in stores. Not only is it exceptionally tasty, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to make. 

We suggest enjoying this sauce as a condiment on our JUICY BURGERS or LAMB BURGERS. It’s also wonderful brushed onto GRILLED CHICKEN or FLANK STEAK, and of course your favourite chicken wing recipe.

Here’s how to make our HOMEMADE BARBECUE SAUCE:

Ingredients for Homemade Barbecue Sauce

EASY LIST

Ingredients for this homemade sauce are all readily available. The recipe does call for both ketchup and mustard, and you can use your favourites. We have tested the recipe using both prepared and Dijon mustards, and although prepared mustard works, we found Dijon made the sauce taste better. We encourage you to experiment with your favourite ingredients though, you won’t be disappointed.

SIMMER DOWN

Mixing the ingredients together in a saucepan is an easy step. The essential step in the recipe is the slow simmer of the sauce for 30 minutes. This gives the flavours a chance to mix and meld properly as they slowly cook.

ENJOY!

This HOMEMADE BARBECUE SAUCE is one of the finest we’ve ever tasted, so it usually disappears pretty quick. The quantity of the finished sauce is enough to get you through three weeks of grilling, so try to use it up within that timeframe.

If sauces and condiments are your thing you should also try our MINT CHIMICHURRI sauce. Lastly, sometimes two is better than one, like when we brush steak with our BARBECUE SAUCE and then serve it with this HOLLANDAISE!

Anything and everything tastes better with this HOMEMADE BARBECUE SAUCE on it!
