BBQ Sauce (1 of 1)-4I’ve always been someone who has either made their own BBQ sauce or altered store bought sauces.  There’s just something about adding a few spices and making it my own that makes a huge difference.  Making BBQ sauce from scratch is super simple!  I’m sure you’ve all had that moment when you thought you had a full container of BBQ sauce only to discover that either it’s almost done or there’s none at all.  With just a few ingredients that most of us have on hand and about 20 minutes, you can make your own BBQ sauce.   I love a sweet and smoky BBQ sauce but this recipe is easily customizable; if you prefer a more savory sauce then reduce the sugar, if you love spicy then add a pinch of cayenne pepper.  I used this on chicken but it would be great on ribs or even as a topping for a burger patty!
