Answer 1

When I need BBQ sauce fast, and realize I'm all out...
I start with ketchup, and add vinegar, honey, garlic and onion powder, and smoked paprika.

Just add whatever you like to taste...if you like spicy, add some hot sauce, Asian flavor, add soy sauce, etc.

Answer 2

If you want to start making your own bbq sauces, you should try this starter. After this, add whatever your heart desires.

16 ounces tomato sauce
1 small onion
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon tabasco
1/2 teaspoon salt

Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil in a saucepan. Cook until transparent. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper, paprika, mustard, and tabasco. Mix well. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add tomato sauce and vinegar.Let simmer for an additional 15 minutes. From here you can add whatever flavor you want. Brown sugar, honey or molasses for a sweet sauce. Chilies and cayenne for a hot sauce. Really, whatever you like.
You can even raid your cabinets and use up any condiment jars or bottles that only have an ounce or so left. Just throw anything together and wah`lah! You've got yourself a one of a kind sauce sure to please! What you can also do is open a can of beer, pour half or so in the mixture, drink the rest, and it does wonders for the sauce. Have fun mixing and creating!

Answer 3

Most of mine start with a tomato sauce base. Then vinegar or soy sauce or lemon juice as the acid and then white or brown sugar or honey or molasses as the sweetener. Most then need to have a little oil to act as a lubricant and to keep things from sticking! Then the herbs and spices and maybe onion. Some of my sauces need to be cooked before using and some are just shaken together in a jar. I refrigerate all of my bbq sauces after they're made. A couple of the sauces use kayro/corn syrup - I always cook those. Same for the ones with onions.

Answer 4

1 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon black pepper 2 tablespoons onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 2 tablespoons salt 1/3 cup lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 cup wine vinegar 3/4 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons dry mustard 6 chicken breasts Combine all ingredients except chicken breasts. Add chicken breasts to marinade mixture and marinate chicken breasts in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours before grilling. Preheat grill. Place chicken breasts on the grill and cook until chicken is opaque in center, flipping twice during cooking, about 15 minutes total.

Answer 5

Basic All-American Barbecue Sauce
4 Large onions -- chopped
3 Tablespoons vegetable oil -- for sauteing
1 28 Oz Can tomato puree
3 28 Oz Cans tomatoes -- with juice
2 1/2 Cups white vinegar
4 Tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
4 Tablespoons granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons salt
2 Tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
2 Tablespoons paprika
2 Tablespoons chili powder
4 Tablespoons molasses
1 Cup orange juice
2 Tablespoons Liquid Barbecue Smoke®
8 Tablespoons brown mustard -- Dijon-style

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, saute the onion in the oil over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 7 to 10 minutes.

Add all the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered at the lowest possible heat for 4 hours. (This long cooking removes as much acidity as possible from the tomatoes.)

Puree sauce in 2, 3, or more batches to prevent it from spilling out of your food processor or blender.

Will keep 2 weeks, covered, in the refrigerator.
