I am currently searchin' the 'net for some homemade bbq sauce recipes,
and found some that use catsup. I don't wanna use anything like catsup
because I want to do this all from scratch. (especially to cut out all
that high fructose corn syrup crap for my 1 year old)

In place of catsup, do I use tomato paste or dilute the tomato paste
with something like water?

In the meantime, if anyone has any delicious yet simple bbq sauce
recipes I'd appreciate it. I'll follow up with any I find for
thoughts.

Thanks,
Paul

The instant coffee is certainly from left field! YMMV.
Also, I perhaps you could use less sugar if you're so inclined?

Thanks.

Maybe my question should be: how do you go about making BBQ sauce from
scratch?

I'd like to make a big ol' batch, so I can keep it in the back of the
fridge for weeks.

I'm figuring you need to start off with tomato paste, or stewed
tomatoes, or something along those lines, right?

Then from there you add things like molasses (or white/brown sugar),
worcestershire sauce, onion, maybe peppers, maybe garlic.

I know I don't want to make pasta sauce so I have to be careful there
isn't too much tomato.

I'm just looking for a place to start, rather than an exact recipe.
That way I can experiment.

Thanks again

Does this sound like the basic way to start making BBQ sauce?

I'm not sure it's practical to keep it quite that long.

If your recipe includes catsup, it's not too difficult to
find a HFCS-free catsup. Otherwise, a mixture of tomato paste,
water, and either blueberry or apricot jam works. (Making
sure the latter are also HFCS-free too.) You can try leaving
out the tomato ingredient entirely but my experience is it
wants some tomato in it, even if the effect you're going for
is a non-tomato-y sauce.

I always put brewed coffee, a little liquid smoke, vinegar, and
cayenne in. Some may prefer to leave out any of these.

You might look for one with raisins and tomatoes in place of catsup.
You still need to add some vinegar in my opinion.

I use Coca - Cola in my BBQ sauce. I reduce it first, this can be done
easily in the microwave, or on the stove...do *not* use Diet Coke for this!
Dr. Pepper also works well...

Tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, salt & pepper. Commonly added are
molasses, red pepper/cayenne, garlic, sauted onions. Optionally,
Worcestrshire sauce, mustard, cumin, Tabasco, or any thing else that
falls in.

If you want to make your bbq sauce from scratch, you must learn to
make your own vinegar, tomato sauce, mustard, sugar. Grow your own
ingredients etc. I don't think you're up for that so re phrase your
question. Maybe you want to make your sauce with available
ingredients other than high fructose corn syrup or ketchup? Actually
with your food IQ, I recommend you purchase bottled sauce. Forget
about your baby, and feed it baby food. For grown ups, bbq sauce is
usually made from unhealthy shit.

coffee can be quite good in this sort of thing. i might use the
freeze-dried stuff instead of instant though. i used to keep a jar of
it for just this purpose.

Ah, true.. HFCS-free catsup!

Ah, vinegar. Forgot about that part!

Sour BBQ Sauce

8 Ozs Tomato Sauce
1 TB Oil
1 T Dry Mustard
1 T Ginger
1 T Garlic Powder
½ Cup Brown Sugar
2 TB Wine Vinegar
1 to 3 TB Worchester Sauce
Hot sauce to taste
Simmer to thicken

Paul,

Are you 100% stuck on a tomato based sauce? I mean there are a
gazillion sauce recipes out there that do not require tomato. (The
Carolina style comes to mind right off the bat.) Your best bet might
be a mopping sauce!

At any rate, here's one from my book to start you off.

Texas Hillbilly Mop Sauce

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups vinegar
1 cup olive oil
2/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup water
2 lemons, pulped and cut in half
2 tablespoons hot sauce
6 bay leaves, crushed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder

PREPARATION:
Place all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Remove from
heat, but keep warm.
Mop every hour.

Otherwise, pretty normal for a certain style. I can see the coffee as a
flavor intensifier; might be really interesting!
