When you need BBQ sauce for anything, there is very little that can successfully replace it. So here is your go to. It will keep for literally ages!
I have used this recipe so many times. It literally is spoon-able from the jar, though you didn't hear that from me. One of the stock standard pantry items you should be on top of, pimp your pantry and get this in there. You will find so many uses for it from Smoky BBQ Pork Ribs to Spicy Oat Burgers to even adding it to things like Chunky Bolognaise Sauce for an added umami hit.
This recipe of course appears in Tenina's America cookbook, for obvious reasons. What good American cookbook doesn't have a BBQ sauce recipe included??? Go get it HERE.
Happy saucing!
