Barbecue sauce
What do you guys use, homemade or store bought?
Here is the list from the web. A lot of the store brands, like Bull's Eye, Open Pit, Sweet Bay, Kraft, in which the #1 ingredient is the high fructose corn syrup. Anyone here makes his/her own in a not too messy way? |

Make my own
One part ketchup, molasses half part brown sugar, soy sauce, dry bbq rub ( I make my own, but any would do) quarter part mustard, apple cider vinegar just a little liquid smoke |

Jack Daniels original sauce is really good if you're going the store bought way. If ordering it online, I'd go with Gates. |
cook all ingredients together in a pot for a few minutes to blend it all. If you want it hot, add some cayenne

I make a couple different sauces to have on hand. I do a low country vinegar sauce for pork which is mostly vinegar, hot sauce, crushed red, salt, pepper, and a bit of sugar.
The other one I do is a glaze which is mostly a fruit preserve with a hot pepper (serano, jalapeno), wine/vinegar, and cornstarch for consistency. I don't like a whole lot of sauce, so I like the glazes, but I do keep OKJNotLD and Blues Hog on hand for anyone that does. |
For everyday use, I use Sweet Baby Ray's. For large get togethers, I make my own

Plain ole Sweet Baby Ray’s, the secret is in the rub anyway.

I am not a BBQ authority like many folks on this board, but I like Gates' BBQ sauce and since you pointed out how HFCS is front and center, which is a peave of mine, I went out and grabbed this info for you in case you like their sauce too. With regard to using sugar -- I suggest pure cane sugar would make this recipe even tastier;
"This from the restaurant in KC. I got the recipe when Mr Gates was on Martha Stewart." 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup salt 2 tablespoons celery seeds 2 tablespoons ground cumin 2 tablespoons ground red pepper 2 tablespoons garlic powder 1 tablespoon chili powder 2 quarts ketchup 2 cups apple cider vinegar 1 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke 1 teaspoon lemon juice Directions: 1)In a small bowl, mix together sugar, salt, celery seed, cumin, red pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. 2)Set aside. 3)In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. 4)Add dry ingredients, and mix well. 5)Serve warm or at room temperature. 6)Sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks or in freezer for up to 6 months.
