Homemade BBQ Sauce

This homemade BBQ sauce is a blend of tomato, vinegar, brown sugar, spices, salt, and pepper all combined and simmer for less than 10 minutes. The taste is everything you can beat it, it’s better than store-bought.  I didn’t use onion for this homemade BBQ sauce but if you want you can about a handful of onion saute it before adding the rest of the ingredients after the simmering is done you an immersion blender to puree the onion.

If you like your BBQ sauce sweet, add more honey or brown sugar, if you want it spicy add more hot sauce, if you want extra smokiness you add about 2 teaspoons of smoke liquid or double the smoked paprika. You can use this sauce for the grilling of your proteins.
