How to Make The Best Homemade BBQ Sauce

This is a recipe from my Grandma in Louisiana, it's the best sauce I've ever had.

Things You'll Need

• A Large Pot
• 2 Tbls Oil
• 1 Large White Onion
• 4 Garlic Cloves
• 3 Tbls of Dry Mustard
• 1 Tsp of Cumin
• 2 Tbls of Crushed Ginger
• 3 Tbls of Chili Powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 8 oz can of crushed pineapple in sauce
• 2 (16) oz cans of crushed tomatoes
• 1/3 Cup of Catsup
• 4 Tbls Honey
• 1/4 Cup of Cider Vinegar
• 4 Tbls of Dark Brown Sugar

Instructions

1. 1st prepare all ingredients in separate bowls and set aside.

   In a large sauce pan on medium heat begin the heat the oil. Once heated add in the Onion, Ginger, and Garlic. Cook on medium heat for 2-5 minutes, just enough to semi caramelize the mixture.

2. Now add in the Chili Powder, Salt, Cumin and let cook for about 5-7 more minutes. Stirring frequently to avoid burning.

3. Next pull off the heat and add in the tomatoes, crushed pineapple, honey, catsup, dry mustard, brown sugar, and cider vinegar and puree in a food processor or use a kitchen blender. Blend until smooth.

4. Return mixture to heat and cook on low to medium, bring to a simmer and let cook for 15-25 minutes, until the sauce reduces.

5. That's it, your done. The sauce will keep in the fridge for about 5-7 days since it is fresh and no preservatives are used. You can also freeze in bags to keep longer. When your ready to use, just remove the bag from the freezer and defrost by soaking bag in hot water.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't like spicy you can remove the cumin from the recipe, that adds a little kick, but the chili powder also has kick. You can remove the chili powder to have no spice at all, but the recipe just does not taste the same without it.

• I always keep mine in the fridge since the recipe yields almost 5 cups of sauce.

• PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES TO ONION and GARLIC should not consume this sauce.
