I'm tired of what comes in bottles, haven't come across a recipe that I like. I want something good that I can hot up to my liking while leaving the original to what my wife will tolerate. Don't be afraid to Light me up!

I've got another thread going right now on the same subject! I'm looking for a really good store bought sauce for everyday purposes. I've been using Trader Joes's Sweet and Spicy which is quite adequate but I want a change. From what I've seen on my thread Sweet Baby Rays might be the way to go.
 
I can't believe we had the same thought one minute apart. Weird!

Sweet baby rays is pretty good straight up. :eek:

It's really an all around good BBQ sauce. I like it best on grilled chicken.
 
Like I said in loeman's thread, I've tried 'em all. Believe me, Sweet Baby Ray's is good, but it ain't got nuthin' on this stuff..."Bone Suckin' Sauce." I always used to make my own barbecue sauce because I could never find a store-bought sauce that "flipped my switches"...until I tried this.

The OP is looking for recipes, not store bought (the other thread). Here's a mustard based spicy sauce I'll make on occasion for marinating purposes.

Ingredients

1/2 cup yellow mustard
1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
2-3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup Japanese rice vinegar
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon/lime
1 large garlic clove finely chopped
1 tbsp. sea salt
1/2 stick salted butter
1 tbsp. raw turbinated sugar
1 tbsp. coarse ground black pepper
1 small Habanero pepper, seeds removed, and finely chopped
1 tbsp. Aji Amarillo (Peruvian yellow hot sauce)
4 oz of tequila

Preparation

Mix the ingredients well in a pot, and while slowly whisking, heat until boiling. Lower heat to a simmer, and stirring , occasionally, cook for 30 to 45 minutes until it thickens.

Remove from heat, cool at room temp, and then chill. Say goodbye to your hemorrhoids, if you have 'em.:D
 
I've been on a tri-tip kick lately, loosely based on my favorite barbecue joint that is now 1,000 miles away. Homesick for food I guess. The place makes Santa Maria style barbecue that uses a mild salsa instead of sauce. I normally prefer spicy as all-get-out salsa, but this mild one adds a very nice touch to a plate of slightly smoky barbecued beef, kind of a cooling effect. If you're burned-out on sauces, this just might do it for you.

Use cilantro instead of parsley, it tastes better. :D
 
Leave it to me to be different.
I really don't like to cook with BBQ sauce or even use it.
You need really good meat and a good rub.

The best savory, non-sweet sauce I've ever used, hands down, is Woody's Cook-In Sauce. Wonderful with beef, pork, lamb, poultry or fish. I haven't seen it in stores here for years, but it can be ordered online. I just may have to do that if I replace the grill that was stolen.
 
2 15 oz cans tomato sauce
1/3 cup olive oil
8 oz dry red wine
2/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup wine vinegar
1/4 cup worchestershire sauce
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 TBSP garlic powder
1 TBSP onion powder
1 TBSP sweet paprika
1 TBSP liquid smoke (some people turn up their nose, I like it)
1 tsp cayenne pepper (or more)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp M.S.G. (or not, again I like it)

Bring to a boil, reduce heat simmer at least 5 minutes stirring constantly.
 
Here is my home made BBQ sauce. Now, if someone could design a label for this hemorrhoid destroying outdoor cooking goodness, then I'll send all entrants a jar...
