Homemade Sweet & Tangy BBQ Sauce Recipe
Sweet, tangy, with a good kick of heat this BBQ Sauce is ready to marry any meat you got. Slather it thick and keep the jar close, because you will want more!
I’ve never been a fan of the store bought BBQ sauce, and I have bought different brands, flavors, just for it to expire and go to trash. So when I bought couple racks of pork ribs, it was time to solve this BBQ sauce problem once and for all.
Being absolutely happy with the result of this I decided to share it with you. There are dishes that just need the sauce and baby back ribs are definitely one of those. Having something that adds just enough kick to keep your tongue excited, while cutting down on the fattiness with the apple cider vinegar this BBQ Sauce is an unbeatable winner! Besides, this recipe is so simple that I could have written instructions with 3 words. Combine, stir, simmer. Simple, simple, simple.

Marina, I would really like to make this BBQ sauce but don’t have that Sriracha Sauce. What is it and what kind of flavor does it add? Thank you. I love your food blog, thank you for taking your time to share with us your creations.
Hi Tanya, and thanks for your sweet comment!
Sriracha is a really spicy sauce made of… I think chili peppers. So if there’s another spicy sauce you use you can add that instead, or even a couple flakes of dy chilli pods would do the same thing. Use at your own discretion as both are very spicy.

Can I marinate my meat in this sauce for grilling
Only if it’s a quick grilling meat. This sauce is thick and if you grill something, it is best to apply it towards the end of the grilling process, otherwise it might charr faster than the meat is ready. So you can marinate in garlic, onion, salt and pepper, grill it almost until done and then the last 5-10 minutes apply the sauce several times.
Never made my own BBQ sauce. This looks good. I prefer making my own sauces. I will try it. Thanks Marina
Yes, as long as you know how to make it, it’s always best to make it yourself. Thanks Valya!
