Homemade BBQ sauce

on

  Today I'd like to share a recipe for homemade barbecue sauce.


 

Homemade sauces are always a good idea in barbecue season. This one will work perfectly as a marinade for baked or grilled meats as well as a dip or even pizza sauce. It's a fantastic mix of flavours: delicate sweetness is balanced by the sour vinegar, while the spices add in a smoky aroma and a bit of heat.

You'll find a list of ingredients, method and approximate nutritional value below.



Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup ketchup (~240g)
  • 1/4 cup water (~60 g)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (~60 g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (~50 g)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne

Method

  1. Heat up the oil on a small heat. Add in pressed garlic and cook for about a minute.
  2. Add sugar and spices: smoked paprika, chili and cayenne. Stir and continue cooking for another minute.
  3. Add in apple cider vinegar and water. Keep stirring until sugar dissolves.
  4. Add ketchup. Bring the mixture up to a boil and continue cooking until the liquid is reduced by 1/3, stirring from time to time.
  5. Enjoy!
