The Best Homemade BBQ Sauce Made Simple
This homemade bbq sauce is finger lickin' good and you may be tempted to use it for almost everything. It is so easy to make and tailor to your preferences too.
Equipment
- 1 Skillet or sauce pan
- 1 Mixing spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- Two 6 oz cans Tomato Paste
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 4 tbsp 100% Honey
- 2 tsp Smoked paprika
- 3 tsp McCormick Himalayan Pink Salt, Black Pepper & Garlic seasoning
- 1 pinch Corn Starch
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
- Heat skillet on medium to high heat (7 on a scale of 1 to 9).
- Add tomato paste to skillet. Add water to the cans to help get any remaining tomato paste out of the can. Doing this helps meet the 1 cup water requirement for this recipe.
- Next add the lemon juice, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce to the skillet and stir until well blended.
- Add the honey, smoked paprika and seasoning. Stir well.
- Next add a pinch of cornstarch to the sauce and stir well. The cornstarch will help thicken the bbq sauce more but not add too many more calories.
- Allow to simmer for about 7-10 minutes.
- Cool down before consuming or storing.
Notes
- Please adjust the ingredient portions per your taste preferences and dietary goals.
- Store in glass airtight containers for short and long term storage.
