This is a combination of different recipes I have tried over the past couple of years, keeping the elements I like the most. Everyone asks for the recipe so here it is! I like a spicy sauce. It's not too hot, but not sweet like most sauces out there. I'm still playing around with it, but I like how its going so far! ** update ** I have decided that perhaps pureeing the onions and garlic might be beneficial because most barbecue sauces don't have chunks of onion and garlic! I will work to change test and change this soon (3/2/10) Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1/2 cup onion, minced |
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, minced |
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar |
1 1/2 cups ketchup |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1 tablespoon dried mustard |
1/2 tablespoon chili powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cumin |
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper (to taste) |
1 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce |
1 teaspoon liquid smoke |
2 teaspoons garlic powder |
1 tablespoon honey |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and cook, stirring, until softened.
2. Add the vinegar to the pan and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
3. Place everything else in the pan stir and bring to a simmer. Cook for at least 30 minutes, or until thick.
4. You may use it right away or cool it and refrigerate for later use.
