We ran out of bbq sauce. The last time I made it, I made it half hot with cayenne pepper added, and half without, mild.
It was delicious. You can use it on ribs. You can use it on chicken. Put it on the meat, on the grill or in a hot oven and let it caramelize on the meat.
This is a double batch.
5 cups of onions (I used the small ones that won't keep over winter, that are from the garden) 4 cups of thick tomato sauce or a combination of sauce and paste. 1 and 1/2 cups of water 1 and 1/3 cup oil
Cook that down in a sauce pan until the onions are transparent and soft. This takes at least an hour and it drives off about a cup or so of liquid. Then use a hand blender and make it smooth. Or blend it in a blender carefully as not to burn yourself.
Then add: 1 and 1/3 cup sugar 2 T molasses (you can use brown sugar if you want to skip the white sugar and molasses) 1 and 1/2 cup lemon juice 1 cup worcestershire sauce (using shurfine brand which is gluten free, hooray) 2/3 cup yellow mustard 3 and 1/2 T salt 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pepper (optional cayenne pepper for heat)
Cook at least another 1/2 hour. This sauce brushed on ribs caramelizes beautifully on the grill or a hot oven. I made some ribs last week and they are 'the best' is what I heard from DS and DH.

It made about 5 pints. I put some on the cooked boneless ribs and let it thicken up on them in the oven. Yum. It's not overly sweet, or salty, or tomato-y, or onion-y, it's all the flavors, and a little tangy.

It's hard to believe that we ran out already. We had it with lots of pork last month. Now it will be made with chicken and we'll try it out on some canned venison. DH and DS are still crazy about it.
It's cookin' in the kitchen. Smells great.

Great for baked beans too. I just use our homemade ketchup, brown sugar and yellow mustard, maybe a touch of vinegar....James

I opened a can of chunked venison, drained, heated it without breaking up the venison chunks, added some bbq sauce, cooked until it was thickened and any extra moisture was evaporated. Delicious, on some toast for dinner.
If I was snowed in for two months, baked beans like jwal10 says, with venison and bbq sauce, would probably be the highlight of my days!

Any kind of pulled or ground meat and BBQ sauce, on a home made dinner roll, and a can of pork and beans with a 1/4 cup of the same sauce, baked for an hour, makes a few meals around here....James

We paired up a winning combination of bbq venison (or pork is excellent too) with mac & cheese shells. There is something about that combination which is wonderful. 5 more frozen lunches/dinners for the guys.

They guys are liking having something for a hot sandwich even on a hot day, where they can microwave the bbqed meat and put it in a bun and a side of some cold salad with it.
I ran out of the bbq sauce again so I'm going to make a big batch again tonight.

Feather, do you can this sauce, if so how...tks This is an approved method for bbq sauce.
I don't can it, I put it in jars and freeze it and that works for me. If I was going to can it for my family, I'd make a change. The approved and tested recipe on the link above has vinegar and I'd let lemon juice in my recipe substitute for vinegar. I'd probably make it in a pressure canner instead of a water bath canner just to be on the safe side of things. But my recipe isn't approved for canning. I wish it was!

If you are going to have a bowl of coleslaw and you 'accidently' pour some of the bbq sauce on it, well, it's really good too.

DS isn't a fan of my BBQ sauce. I made a copy cat of sweet baby rays. It's sweet no doubt, but he really likes it. I changed the recipe to give it some smoked flavor because my paprika wasn't smoked paprika.
Sweet Baby Rays Boil for 5 minutes:
1 and 1/4 c ketchup 1 cup of brown sugar 1/4 cup molasses 1/4 cup cider vinegar 1/4 cup water 1 T Worcestershire sauce 2 and 1/2 t. ground mustard 2 t paprika 1/4 t. smoke extract 1/2 t. garlic powder 1/4 t. cayenne pepper 1 and 1/2 t. salt 1 t black ground pepper
It's very nice.
