What’s better than barbecue sauce? Two barbecue sauces! In continuing our Pulled Pork fest, I made two more barbecue sauces. The first is a nice and spicy sauce that features molasses and heat. The second is a super basic sauce, similar to one my mom used to make for chicken.

Your “Easy Squeezy” sauce is pretty much the same as my own recipe, but I use liquid smoke sometimes too. The “Spicy Dark” looks right up my alley too! Thanks!
Dr. F – Ha, nice. Actually, I would’ve used liquid smoke too, had I any on hand.
I have not tried to make a barbecue sauce yet. Both of these sound really good!
I’ve always wanted to make barbeque sauce! Thanks for this, I’ll be trying it and using vegetable stock instead of chicken
I’ve been looking for a good BBQ sauce for some time, I just found it!! not sure if I can get liquid smoke here though, if not I’ll make it without, thanks.
hey Kevin, veggie belly, and lesley,
I really like the spicy one!
