BBQ Sauce

I usually opt for fina’denne’ with my food, but occasionally I love a good BBQ sauce, most especially on smoked brisket, and sometimes on BBQ chicken.

I like my BBQ sauce to be a cross between the tangy, vinegary Carolina sauce and the thick, sweet Kansas BBQ sauce.

This is an easy sauce to whip up.  Chances are you have everything you need in your fridge and pantry already.  If you want your sauce to be spicy, add a tablespoon or more (to taste) of chili flakes, or the hot chili pepper of your choosing.

 

BBQ Sauce Ingredients

 

Mix everything in a small saucepan.  Cook over low heat just until it simmers.  Serve immediately or keep in a sealed container and refrigerate.  This sauce actually tastes better if you make it a day ahead.

    How long will the sauce last in the fridge, i.e. shelf life? I will make it for my next BBQ. Thanks.
