We BBQ a lot at home since we have sun almost year around.

Famous Dave's has a weird taste to it and we did not like it all, tried two different kinds, both yuck!

Cattlemens, not bad. Have to use a lot.

Tony Romas- yuck! Still have a 64oz bottle in the cuipboard. Our friends swore by it.

Claim Jumper - Damn tasty, and goes on thick!

BullsEye is the standbye. Always available and good.

The BBQ sauces at the BBQ festivals are almost always better than the grocery store variety.

Hang on one second and i will give you the recipe we use when we make from scratch...

Another vote for Sweet Baby Rays.. it's absolutely the best hands down.. and if you're recommending it and you use that homemade recipe, I am definitely going to try the recipe. thanks

If I recall, Sweet Baby Ray has HFCS as the first ingredient. Yuck.

It does, I have a bottle in the fridge right now.

bbq sauce is pretty subjective.

some people prefer smoky, some like sweet, some like tomatoey, etc...

I think different sauces go well with different stuff.

If I'm eating pulled pork, I like a vinegar pepper sauce,

If i'm eating chicken, I like a more smoky sweet sauce,

and if I'm eating really good brisket and ribs I usually don't use sauce.

How interesting, my brother got some "good" BBQ sauce today, and it turned out to be Sweet Baby Ray's.

Pretty good. I like how thick it is, that caused a nice thick layer of caramelized sauce to form on the chops we made. I'd prefer it to be a little spicier, but there are probably other versions that would fill that need.

It does indeed have HCFS as the first ingredient, though.

Ok, yesterday I made up a huge batch of homemade pizza sauce and today I think I'll try barbecue sauce. How does this recipe that I found sound? I have all of the ingredients around, though I don't know if I'll like it considering the vast quantity of ketchup and the general blandness of the ingredients.

1 onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 cups ketchup
1 cup water
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp ground cumin
2 dashes Tobasco sauce

Combine, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened (10-15 mins), strain.

That sounds great!!! the only thing I would change is perhaps a smaller amuont of cumin. I used a lot of it in a rub a few times back and it was too over powering... but boy that sounds good. Let me know how it tastes!

This is one i found on a BBQ website we get most of our smoking/grilling/bbq recipes from. I have not personally tried it but i will this weekend!

Ingredients:
1 large juicy lemon
1 clove garlic, peeled and lightly crushed with the side of a cleaver
1 thin (1/4-inch) slice onion
1 cup Dr Pepper
3/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons A.1. steak sauce
1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce, or more to taste
1 tablespoon cider vinegar,or more to taste
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Coarse salt (kosher or sea)

Cut the lemon in half cross wise and cut a 1/4-inch slice off of one half. Remove any seeds in this slice. Juice the remaining lemon: You should have 2 to 3 tablespoons juice.

Place the lemon slice, 2 table spoons of the lemon juice, and the garlic, onion slice, Dr Pepper, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, hot sauce, vinegar, liquid smoke, and pepper in a heavy nonreactive saucepan and gradually bring to a boil over medium heat.

Reduce the heat slightly to maintain a gentle simmer. Let the sauce simmer gently until thick and richly flavored, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste for seasoning, adding more lemon juice, hot sauce, and/or vinegar as necessary and seasoning with salt to taste, if desired.

Strain the sauce into a bowl (or clean glass jars) and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate, covered, until serving. The sauce will keep for several months in the refrigerator.

this is the reason why A1 sauce exists. you buy it, and you try it. done deal.
