Homemade BBQ Sauce Recipes
Homemade Barbecue Sauce is not something you should be scared of trying to cook yourself. Sure, there are plenty of sauces to choose from at the grocery store, but there's nothing like cooking up your own batch of sauce after finding a recipe you really enjoy. Making a homemade BBQ sauce is easy and most of the recipes you'll find on this site can be made in just a matter of minutes. If you have never tried to make a BBQ sauce yourself, just start out with one of our basic recipes first. You'll see how easy it is to whip up your own batch. After trying a few different types of recipes, you'll probably be ready to start adding your own variations and trying a little extra spices or ingredients you like. Who knows, you might be the one to invent the next great BBQ Sauce that all of us will be buying at the store!
Most of you will most likely be familiar with the traditional tomato based sauces. Check out our section called "The Basics" for a description of the 4 basic types of BBQ sauces that we have in the U.S. I will say there is a 5th type called Alabama White BBQ Sauce which is a Mayonnaise based sauce which is still fairly unknown. For more information on the history of this type of BBQ check out our section on White BBQ Sauces.
Another advantage of making your own homemade barbecue sauce is freshness and no preservatives.
