interesting thread.
it's a funny coincidence,
just two nights ago i decided to brainstorm a bbq sauce
and i went at it
(w/ not a lot of ingredients at my disposal)

i didn't write down specific measurements
so i'll just guess

pE's New England Bahbaquee Sauce Widda Wicked Sweet Kick

ING's

1 ONION (small) - fine dice/minced
2 GARLIC cloves - minced
1/2 C LEMON juice (fresh)
1 T LEMON zest (fresh)
2 T BALSAMIC VINEGAR
12 OZ (?) TOMATO SAUCE or any kind of tomato puree (not seasoned just plain)
1/2 C NEW ENGLAND MAPLE SYRUP (...improvise... if you must...)
2 T MOLLASES
1.5 t LIQUID MESQUITE SMOKE (adjust according to taste)
2 t SALT
1.5 t RED PEPPER flakes

PROCEDURE

Yield: approximately 1.5 C

1. Saute onion and garlic in a small enough sauce pan if using original yield.
2. When onion is translucent w/o much/any color, add the lemon juice/zest and balsamic vinegar and continue to cook another minute or so.
3. Add the tomato and all the rest of the liquid ingredients, and the red pepper flakes, and allow the sauce to simmer on LOW heat for about 30 minutes.
4. Season to your liking.

you can also buy thier sauses at the grocery stores areound here which are just amazing.

two ingrediants in alot of commercial blends: lemon or lime juice & orange juice, not in huge amounts but there just the same.

[MePlusOne]

not good with measurements, just go by taste, but this is a sweet kinda bbq sauce that I make but try:
half an onion finely chopped
some ketchup
some pancake syrup
a little coca cola, maybe 1/2 cup
you favorite bottled bbq sauce
a little texas pete hot sauce for some pep

I just mix a little of each ingredient together until I get a good thickness that is gonna stick to the ribs good and make sure it is completely mixed well, and throw it in the micro until it is good and hot but not bubbling, and then just add to what I'm cooking. If you try it, you know what I mean about taste, it just has a sweet but over mild bbq flavor. Good luck

Am wiping drool off my keyboard. Thanks.

[anticheffy]

bourbon, and lots of it

[robman1]

I just tried the coke and ketchup today. Definitely works, but I liked to use it more for the cooking process thand then add some store bought near the end.
