It’s barbecue sauce season! This sauce has a slight kick of vinegar and just a hint of sweetness, making it perfect for all your BBQ needs. Wings, pulled pork, burgers, you name it!
It’s easier than you think to make homemade barbecue sauce, and I bet you’ll never go back to store-bought. Starting now, we’re always going to have this bottled up in our fridge.
The best part – it takes less than 10 minutes. Put all the ingredients into a pot or pan, heat it up, stir, blend, you’re done. I chose to use an immersion blender (a regular blender would work too!) to whip the sauce together, which makes it creamy and smooth. Highly recommended.
I was absolutely licking this sauce off the spoon (at 10 am on a Sunday…) which means it’s going to become a staple in my house.
