Yesterday we had some company and we smoked some baby back ribs.
I friend had furnished the following recipe for a home made BBQ sauce.
This is an amazing sauce - I made it the day before and then warmed it lightly before serving.
The lemon & the black pepper gives the sauce a fantastic little "Bite"
The BBQ Sauce -
2 Cups Ketchup ½ Cup brown sugar 1 Tsp grated lemon zest 6 Tbs. fresh lemon juice or more to taste 2 Tbs. molasses 1Tbs Worcestershire sauce 1 ½ Tsp liquid smoke 2 Tsp dry mustard, preferable Coleman's 1 Tsp Onion Powder ½ Tsp Black Pepper
Heat the sauce to a simmer over heat about 8 to 10 minutes.
2 Cups Ketchup ½ Cup brown sugar 1 Tsp grated lemon zest 6 Tbs. fresh lemon juice or more to taste 2 Tbs. molasses 1Tbs Worcestershire sauce 1 ½ Tsp liquid smoke 2 Tsp dry mustard, preferable Coleman's 1 Tsp Onion Powder ½ Tsp Black Pepper
Sounds pretty good. Lemon juice instead of the more usual cider vinegar is an interesting change. I normally go for a less tomato-y sauce by replacing some of the ketchup with a fruit jelly (plum, grape, or cherry all work) and by including brewed coffee.

Is liquid smoke a product whose label you're better off not reading?
