It's finally cookout and BBQ season here in New England. I couldn't think of a better way to kick off the season than by sharing a recipe for BBQ sauce.
Making homemade BBQ is pretty simple.
All you're really doing in taking a bunch of ingredients and slap 'em all in a heavy pot and cooking it for a few hours.
The result = thick and tangy BBQ sauce that will having you wondering why you didn't try making your own sooner.
This is another recipe that I have to thank my mother-in-law Carol for. She emailed it to me, but called me before to put in her disclaimer.
"Now I know you don't really like them, and I have NEVER made any of their recipes before, but the recipe I sent you is from....THE NEELYS and I hate to say it but, it's really good"
The Neelys. Ugh. What can I tell you. I just can't watch them. I've tried, twice, but both times I was forced to change channels before the show was half way through. They are just too lovey-dovey, and smoochy for me. Makes me wonder where their hands have been before they touch the food. Sorry, that's really what goes through my head.
So, yes, I can't stand the Neelys, but I'm happy that my mother-in-law could tolerate them long enough to try this recipe and pass it along to me.
I've made it two times already and plan on making a triple batch to get us through the cookout season.
I tweaked it a bit. Don't I always? If you like it with a little more kick, add in whatever will spice up your life.

You are making me want BBQ sauce for breakfast. This photo is shamelessly delectable.
I agree about the show and why I don't watch it, which is a shame, because boy can they cook.
I'm sooo happy summer is here and we can start the eating festivities!!!
Oh this looks tasty! I have all the ingredients on hand for this one (always a big plus). I can't wait to make this!
Interesting sauce and interesting ingredients but i will try to put some chilli on it. I`m curios how will taste. Thanks for sharing.
Hi! I was wondering... about how long will this probably last in the fridge?
Meli I would say at least 2 - 3 weeks..if it lasts that long, lol.
I have been making this BBQ sauce for well over a year now. I have substituted the pepper for 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper and add 1/2 grated onion (I use a microplane. We love it!!!
