Sweet-and-Spicy Barbecue Sauce

I promise my son I would make him some sweet and spicy sauce homemade. I came across this recipe. It came really good. The only thing I did different was use a small can of tomato paste to thicken the sauce and I didn’t use the celery seeds. Needless to say my son loves it and he’s not willing to share with us. So I will be making another jar for our home.

This bbq sauce was way too tangy and not very sweet at all. I ended up adding a good bit of molasses to cut back on the strong vinegar taste.

Perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Thank you.

This was my first time making homemade bbq sauce and it turned out great! About halfway through though it tasted a bit more sweet than spicy though, so I added another 1/4 cup of ketchup, 1tbs of cayenne pepper and 1tsp of liquid smoke and I threw in 1tsp of smoked paprika, and also used a hand blender to make it smoother, and it turned out amazing! Thanks for the recipe, everyone loved it.

This recipe ranks among the absolute BEST rib recipes I have ever tried. Each component is superior. It was well worth the trouble. My southern family has very entrenched ideas of what good barbeque should be and they all loved this recipe.
