Homemade BBQ Sauce
Homemade BBQ Sauce
As they say, necessity is the mother of invention. Just recently, kids asked for pulled pork so I whipped up the ingredients and turned the cooktop on but realized I am missing a key ingredient - the BBQ sauce. I went to the fridge and pantry and but found I had run out. I did have molasses in the fridge so that was a huge lifesaver.No time to waste, I remembered an old recipe I had worked on a few years ago, found the old piece of paper and quickly got to work.I knew what flavour I was aiming for as I knew the family's taste, so I called in the taste crew to try it out. They not only gave me a thumbs up, they asked for a small bowl of it to lick up. This is a make-ahead recipe, enough for multiple uses. It would yield about 4 cups, which you can store in the fridge for up to 3 months.I will post the pulled pork recipe soon so stay tuned.
