White BBQ Sauce Recipes
White BBQ Sauce
White barbecue sauce is a mayonnaise-based sauce instead of the traditional tomato or mustard based saucues. Also known as Alabama barbecue sauce because of its origin in Alabama. These sauces are delicious on grilled meats or used as a dipping sauce. However, be careful to add this type of barbecue sauce to the meat only near the end of cooking. Since Mayonnaise breaks down very quickly with heat, it’s almost more of a dipping sauce than any type of basting barbecue sauce.

Chili Pepper BBQ Sauce Recipes
Chili Peppers
Hot barbecue sauces are great if you enjoy “kickin it up a notch” as Emeril Lagasse would say. Now Jalapeno is by far NOT the hottest pepper out there. In fact, it’s one of the milder hot peppers available. So if you are ready for really hot barbecue sauce you might want to try some of the Habanero barbecue sauce recipes. If not, and you are just venturing into the land of HOT, then this is a great place to start.
If you haven’t made hot sauces before and you don’t know how much heat you can take, you might want to try one of the recipes with the least amount of peppers or just cut down the amount of hot peppers in any of the recipes and ease into it! Hot dishes are definitely an acquired taste. Not many people come out of the womb ready to eat the hottest food around! So, be careful, be adventurous and definitely give some of these hot and spicy barbecue sauces a try and see how you like them!

Chipotle Barbecue Sauce (Sweet version)
Chipotle
This version of a Chipotle Barbecue Sauce recipe is much sweeter due to the Molasses and brown sugar which is more to my taste. If you haven’t every tried Chipotles before, then you’ve missed out on some great flavor! For a list of several other Chipotle Barbecue Sauce recipes take a look at our Jalapeno BBQ Sauce Recipes section.

- This is a simple way to make the Chipotle Puree without using the normal dried ones. Place contents of the can of Chipotle in a blender. Add water to the can until it is about ⅔ full. Swirl water around can to rinse well, then pour water into blender. Blend on high speed for about 10 seconds, or until completely smooth.
- Take ¼ cup of the Puree (or more if you like a stronger Chipotle flavor and you like it hotter) and add all the other ingredients together. Heat the whole concoction up and then use it!
