Barbeque sauce is one of the most popular condiments used in American cuisine, and is usually paired with grilled meat such as chicken, pork, lamb, and beef along with grilled vegetables. The tangy and lip-smacking taste of the sauce tantalizes the senses and elevates the flavour profile of the meat. It is a perfect blend of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar which balances the sweetness of the sauce. The added kick of hot pepper sauce catches your breath and adds a bit of heat. This recipe yields a luscious and velvety sauce that complements the grilled meat. With this simple recipe, you can make your own barbeque sauce that is flavourful, healthy, and cost-effective.

PROS

It can be used as a dipping sauce or a marinade which makes it versatile.

The homemade sauce is fresh, flavourful, and a healthy replacement for store-bought sauces that have added preservatives.

CONS

It requires tending and cannot be rushed as the sauce needs to simmer for 20 minutes for the flavours to blend together.

The butter content of the sauce adds calories and fats.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

A home-made BBQ sauce is a healthier alternative as it lacks the preservatives and additives often found in store-bought sauces. The tomato sauce and lemon juice are high in vitamin C, which can boost the immune system and help the body absorb iron from food. BBQ sauce also contains antioxidants which protect the cells from free-radical damage.
