Like I’ve said before, I love sauces! Since I love cooking even more, it’s only natural that I would try to come up with my own delicious combinations, right?
Well I am excited to share one of my favorite homemade BBQ sauces. It’s a tangy and sweet balsamic bbq. I can’t take complete credit for this recipe since the inspiration came from Food Network a few years back. Of course, I’ve changed a few things and made it my own (and I think a little bit better).
What You’ll Need
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper
What You’ll Do
1) Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and whisk until all the ingredients are combined and the mixture is totally smooth.
2) Simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes. The sauce should reduce by about 1/3 and the flavor will be totally concentrated and delicious.
Pretty simple and it only takes about 20 minutes! You can store this stuff in an air tight container for a couple weeks. Also, it’s much healthier than store bought bbq sauce because you don’t have nearly as many preservatives and weird additives!
Love always,
