Barbecue sauce

[Msmith]

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?

Used to be a bbq joint called Big Daddy's here in Des Moines. They closed but still sell sauce in the local grocery stores. That's been my go to sauce lately.

I got some of that. You have to be very careful with it because it contains a lot of sugar (a LOT of sugar) and can make the BBQ way too sweet. I use it in some BBQ beans, but don't use sorgham or molassas like I usually do. But its good in small doses.

I gotta say, I'm a big fan of Garland Jack's original recipe. It's the best store-bought barbecue sauce I've ever had.
