Barbecue season is upon us and so I thought I would share my favorite home-made barbecue recipe with you. I hate store bought BBQ sauce. It is always full of questionable ingredients.
This recipe only takes a few minutes to make and keeps in your fridge for several days. It fits nicely in a mason jar and can be used on burgers, ribs, chicken, for dipping, etc. My favorite way to eat it is cooking it with slow roasted pork. Yum!
Sauté:
1/2 large finely diced white or yellow onion
in 1/2 cube of butter for about 5 minutes
Add:
2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup lemon juice
4 Tbl Honey
2 Tbl Worcestshire sauce
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp pepper
3 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili powder
3 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp ground cloves
Let simmer over low/medium heat for about 15 minutes.
This is really more of a tangy sauce, not spicy. It will seem a little spicier if you just taste it than what it will be on anything you put it on. Increase the honey for a sweeter sauce.
I would love for you to share your BBQ sauce with me-or any recipes for that matter. Don’t forget to write me at foodophelia@gmail.com
