This is my favorite barbecue sauce. Probably because it's what Mom made
while I was growing up. It's very thin. You use it to form a light glaze
on the food, not a thick layer of glop. I use it mostly on grilled chicken
breasts or country style ribs. Brush it on during the last few minutes of
cooking.

What's your favorite barbecue sauce?

Don't have a recipe for it, but my current favourite is made
and sold by a local barbeque place. It's the only sauce I've
had so far in the US that isn't too sweet for my taste.
It's very dark brown, rather than red and there are some
undercurrents there I haven't identified yet.

This is my favorite barbecue sauce. It's from Burk's Cafe in Ballard.
Ballard is a very Scandinavian fishing neighborhood in Seattle. They are
a Cajun restaurant, but just happen to like some very good barbecue,
too. Go figure. Anyway, I make enough to freeze up a couple of batches
to pull out in a hurry.

Ah, a lower sugar BBQ sauce which I've been looking for! Will try this
recipe and maybe cut down on the molasses a bit. I've gotten to the
point that I never order BBQ foods in restaurants anymore because they
are about as sweet as desserts -- yuck. My father suggested using the
spicy salt but that didn't seem appetizing either. Sue

Guess ordering the barbecue "dry" makes me think that it's not that much
different than what my husband does normally at home, so why pay big
bucks at a restaurant?

Will try to find that Pulled Pork sauce because I love vinegar-based
foods. Shouldn't be too hard because my Home Cookin' program lists 1984
barbecue recipes in it; I must have downloaded some since installing the
program and forgot about them. Thanks, Sue

Mine is an amalgam of orange juice, ginger, cinnamon, chili powder,
fish sauce and lemon juice. Sometimes there's molasses in there,
sometimes brown sugar, sometimes kecap sambal, sometimes not.

This is my favorite BBQ sauce.

Beer BBQ Sauce
~~~~~~~~~~~
2 cups ketchup
1 bottle beer
1 cup brown sugar
3 tbs. lemon juice
2 tbs. horseradish
1 tsp garlic salt
2 tsp. worstershire sauce

Bring to a boil and then simmer for at least an hour.


I usually double the horseradish, worster and then add a few cloves of fresh
chopped garlic to add a kick. I usually make 3 batches of the stuff a month.
Yummy on chicken, London Broil and gooey on ribs!!

Glad I'm not the only one who hates sweet barbeque.
Fortunately the place closest to us doesn't make it so
sweet.

Powdrell's indeed. They bring it without sauce when we ask.
I disagree *completely* that their sauce is the sweetest in
the business. It's far less sweet than any other place in
town we tried so far: Quarters, Rudy's and Dicky's. It's
very much less sweet than barbeque I've eaten in other
states around the US.

If you've got a better place within the city limits let's
hear it.

Found nine pulled pork recipes in the barbecue chapter in my Home
Cookin' program and one of them is an Eastern version. It has a rub
mix, sauce (1 cup sugar to 3 cups of vinegar for a six pound shoulder
roast which still seems pretty sweet) and mentions the coleslaw and
bread -- but no RC cola or habaneros ;). Actually right now I am
working on vegan tofu recipes so talk about a world of difference!
Thanks, Sue

Trust me. Don't lower the molasses. I first made them as Burke dictated
it to me. It does need the extra.

There is no place in a bbq sauce for ketchup.

Hmm and this is coming from the same person who BUYS bottled bbq sauce

I got this along time ago while in Hawaii. It took alot of begging and
groveling but eventually I wore the s.o.b. down ;-) It's not cheap to
make and it's definitely different but worth a try.

1 large can frozen orange juice - don't add any water
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup (yes it's got ketchup in it, but hey, it's not my
recipe, and yes I use Hienz ;-) )

1/2 cup of mustard (regular yellow, not dry)
1/2 cup of whiskey (anything that ya got, cheap stuff works fine)
1/4 cup soy sauce (optional)
1/2 cup worcestershire sauce (I recomment L&P)
Grated onion and garlic to taste (I wouldn't advise using dried)
dump everything in a blender and mix

(I add a touch of coarse salt and fresh ground pepper but that's not
in the original... I just can't follow a recipe)

Another variation, depending on what I'm looking for is some chipotle
peppers or tabasco, etc.

Freezes well.

I'd never use a half cup of worcestershire on anything, unless I was
cooking for an army. I found out long ago that that stuff just
overpowers anything it comes into contact with. Especially beef of any
sort. But the other ingredients are strong as well, so I suppose they
can "outpower" the worcestershire...

Well, I'd suggest that you try it before you draw opinions, or would
