Food and Drink Barbecue sauce - Page 2

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?

Then they don't know shit, and I'm from Iowa.

Seriously, too sweet for me. I will tell you tho their "wings and things" buffalo sauce is almost spot on. Could be a little hotter.

good point about Firebug, no tang.

definitely a sweeter one. I like it with a little heat on ribs.

I could see how it could overwhelm a pulled pork etc

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.

Occasionally I will grill ribeyes to a perfect medium rare, let them cool, then cut them into strips. Marinade them I'm Gates hot for a day our two. Delish!

Didnt know where to post this but this thread looks like a good spot...today Amazon is giving away for free "Weber's Time to Grill: Get In. Get Out. Get Grilling." ebook for Kindle. Works on the Kindle app for Android and iphone too.

I buy store bought or from local places just to have it on hand. I don't buy any that contain high fructose corn syrup.

The Hot version has plenty of "Tang"...

My favorite store bought sauce is Stubbs Mesquite. Not spicy but a nice flavor

I recently bought this, Cattlemen's Carolina Tangy Gold which does contain a small amount of HFCS. It tastes sweet and tangy.
