BBQ Sauce

[troutman]

I make it but never know what I did when I'm through.

This. I've done that a number of times and had everyone tell me how good the sauce was, how did you make it? Well......I dunno. I just opened cabinets and put stuff in.

Look on Pinterest. I've saved a number of recipes that look good, but have never tried any.

I recommend sweet baby rays mustard sauce. Duplicate that and you have a home run

Real good BBQ is in the meat, rub, and smoke. Some places rely on the sauce for flavor which scores a "0" in my book.

That totally depends on the style of BBQ. BBQ varies by Region, state, and even county. There are so many types.

If it is good BBQ you shouldn't need any sauce...

Real good BBQ is in the meat, rub, and smoke...

"In Georgia alone there are hundreds of varieties of sauces. If the meat is good, the sauce will be, too."

Oh man the possibilities are endless. My family's Carolina vinegar sauce is cider vinegar, ketchup, Worcestershire, mustard, brown sugar hot sauce and salt and pepper to taste (That is the base it is up to you to figure out proportions, plus there are a few special ingredients after that). I would say get a few recipes and pick out what you like and completely make your own.

But as others have said actually cooking the meat is the most important part of BBQ...

I used to make my own sauce but found it far easier to buy commercial and Doctor it up.

I'm not knocking sauce, but if that's all you rely on, it's not great BBQ, probably not even good. Williamson brothers is an example of this with their ribs, wipe some sauce away and taste. Always use a rub.

I'll eat ribs sometimes w sauce, check out "mountain ribs" on YouTube. You can thank me later.
