pickle juice, "sechler's sweet heat mixed pickles"
BBQ ADD IN'S
left over, chicken
left over, pork tenderloin
2 medium mushrooms, chopped
1/5 c diced tomato's

Steps:

  • 1. Saute Onions in Olive oil until golden. Do not turn down the heat.
  • 2. Slowly add 1 cup of water. Let simmer until onions are caramelized.
  • 3. On a low to medium heat,(2 to 4 electric stove setting) The fallowing is a suggestive, considering every one likes their BBQ differently. Add the other 1 Cup of Water, 1 Cup Brown Sugar, 1/3 can tomato paste, 1 tablespoon mustard, and about 1 ounce(shot glass) of pickle juice to the caramelized onions. Let simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burn.
  • 4. Now that you have your base, continue to add the remainder of your ingredients one at a time, until you have the flavor and thickness you desire. If you want it to be more sweet just add more Brown Sugar. Too sweet add more mustard or tomato paste. You can play with this recipe all you want, it will still turn out delicious.
  • 5. After your sauce has developed a nice base and is thickening, (should be about 2 hours of slow stir's and adding extra ingredients, if your sauce is still too thin at this time, let it simmer longer)you can add your meat of choice, mushrooms, tomato's and let simmer a while longer.
  • 6. For the finalization. Toast some buns, add some cheese, top with lettuce and enjoy! Side of tortilla chips..
  • 7. You can freeze the sauce for future meals.
  • 8. Helpful hint. Each time you stir your sauce, try it.. Make sure the flavor is to your taste. You will need to occasionally add water. Allow the sauce time to thicken and simmer the acidity of the tomato paste out.
  • 9. ENJOY!!

BBQ SAUCE: SWEET AND SPICY



BBQ Sauce: Sweet and Spicy image

If I have the time to make homemade BBQ sauce, this is one of several recipes that I use when I grill or oven bake. This is super quick and easy to make. Hubby really loves this on my Recipe #516009, but it is just as good when used on poultry. If you like a sweet BBQ sauce with a bit of a spicy after taste, this could be the one you want (I actually prefer the more mustard based BBQ sauces, but this makes hubby happy). I'm hoping that you enjoy this recipe, and that maybe you will try one of my other BBQ sauces in the future. *Note: I've stopped "tinkering" around with this recipe because hubby said "It's great as is, leave it alone". (I considered maybe sweating some minced onion to add along with some garlic powder, but it is just so simple and tasty now that I would hate to mess it up. Besides, those flavors are not missed). Enjoy! (*Note added: It is an extremely thin sauce, but can probably be altered to make it thicker... maybe less water or longer simmer time).

Categories     Sauces

Time 12m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup catsup
2/3 cup granulated sugar (more or less, adjust to taste)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (more or less, to taste)
red pepper flakes (to taste, I use about 1/2 teaspoon)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except red pepper flakes in a small size sauce pan. Whisk while heating over a medium-low flame. Once sugar is dissolved, add in red pepper flakes. Simmer 5 minutes, whisking often.
  • Once everything is incorporated, and you've adjusted the taste to your liking, let cool completely and store in an air tight jar for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator (that's the longest it ever lasted in our house, it may stay fresh longer). If not using right away, mix sauce well, before using. (Nicely fills a recycled and cleaned, 16oz olive jar for storing in the fridge).
  • *Note: While the ingredients have time to meld together in the fridge, the flavor will change a bit. Keep this in mind while tasting during the preparation. A little bit hot will get hotter -- a little bit sweet will get sweeter.
  • Enjoy!

CAM'S SWEET AND SPICY SPECIAL BBQ SAUCE



Cam's Sweet and Spicy Special BBQ Sauce image

I've been making this BBQ sauce for years and I finally wrote down the recipe at my oldest instance. This sauce is thin, somewhat sweet with a little kick at the end. I use this to marinade our ribs as well as for basting, dipping etc.

Provided by Cuistot

Categories     Sauces

Time 30m

Yield 2 pints, 64 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup water
15 ounces tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground dry mustard
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • in a medium sauce pan over medium heat mix butter, brown sugar and water. Bring to a boil stirring frequently. Boil to 250* not quite hard ball stage.
  • reduce heat to a simmer and add tomato sauce. The sugar mixture may seize depending on the temperature of the tomato sauce. That's fine, just stir until the sugar mixture dissolves.
  • add the rest of the ingredients and let simmer 10-20min stirring occasionally. Flavors will develop as it sits.
  • If you want a thicker sauce cook the butter and sugar longer, but keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn. It'll thicken up in the fridge.
  • Refrigerate till ready to use, will keep several weeks in the fridge.
  • I usually make large batches of this and can it.
  • Serving size is 2 tbls and this makes approximately 2 pints. or 4 cups.
