Barbecue sauce is a true American food tradition. Different regions prefer different flavors and variations. Here is a basic, more traditionally made barbeque sauce. After you have gotten the hang of this barbecue sauce, I encourage you to try to replicate your current commercial favorites or make a new one entirely!
If you’re used to commercially made barbecue sauces, starting with my sweet barbecue sauce might be a smoother transition for you and your family and more familiar to your taste buds. This savory barbecue sauce is, to me, more of a wing sauce.
The full recipes make 1 and ½ cups of barbecue sauce. You can easily half, double, or triple the recipe depending on what you need!
You can put it in an old bottle or keep in a jar. Keep in the fridge. I’m unsure exactly how long this will keep in the fridge. However, similar ferments are fine for 1-3 months. If there’s any obvious mold or any putrefied (vomit like) smells, it’s probably time to make a new batch!
