There is nothing more summer than a good BBQ sauce. Sadly, store sauces are often full of HFCS, dyes, and other yucky ingredients. I have been making my own sauce for quite a few years now. It is a crowd-pleaser and very simple.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- A pinch of salt and a good pinch of pepper
- A sprinkle of chili powder
Directions:
I mix the above ingredients together in my Vitamix, dump the mixture into a sauce pan, and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes just to heat and melt down the brown sugar. Mix well while simmering; it ensures your ketchup doesn’t get funky. Pour sauce into a glass jar and keep in refrigerator. 🙂
Enjoy!
Happy Homemaking.
