EASY BARBECUE SAUCE



Easy Barbecue Sauce image

I came up with this recipe via trial and error after running out of barbecue sauce one too many times. Now my family will not have any other kind. I make it in double batches and store it in a mason jar in the refrigerator. It can be canned for longer storage. You can add chopped garlic and less hot sauce, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are the best choice for barbecue sauce because they have a low water content and a meaty texture. If using fresh tomatoes, be sure to remove the seeds and skins before cooking.
  • Use a variety of spices: A good barbecue sauce should have a complex flavor profile. Some common spices used in barbecue sauce include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making barbecue sauce. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors until you find a sauce that you love.
  • Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to develop and meld together. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
  • Taste the sauce as you go: It's important to taste the sauce as you're cooking it so that you can adjust the seasonings as needed.

Conclusion:
