Bobbie-Q Sauce (Barbecue Sauce)

ThatBobbieGirl's Note:

A versatile barbecue sauce - sweet and spicy. Kind of like magic -- anything I prepare with this sauce disappears! It's a hit with all ages. I've started preparing it with Xylitol, also known as birch sugar, instead of sugar, and it works just great, plus it's easier on blood sugar levels.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 0.75 cup sau ...

• 1/2 cup Heinz ketchup
• 1/8 cup water (more or less for desired thickness)
• 1 garlic clove, minced (or more ( I mean, why not?)
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 cup sugar or 1/4 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard

Directions:

1. Combine ingredients, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
2. Use this as a basting sauce for barbecue, or combine with chopped or shredded beef, chicken or pork, and simmer until heated throughout and flavor is well through the meat.
3. If you want to make up a batch of this to keep in the freezer, leave out the water, and it will not freeze solid. You can take out the container and just scoop out however much you need. I sometimes make it up by the gallon just to have it on hand for easy meals.

This BBQ sauce is yummy. ThatBobbieGirl made some for me. I thought she spent hours making it. Apparently it's much easier than I thought!

I just made up a batch of this and doubled it. Wow!!! I love it!!! I am putting it on country style ribs tomorrow. I think I will go to Bj's and buy the industrial size bottle of Heinz ketchup. I will be making this from now on instead of buying the bottled ones. You have yourself a real winner here TBG!!! Thanks for posting...:)))

The sauce was really good! A little too much zing for me so next time I'll only add 1/2 tsp chili powder and maybe a bit more worchestershire sauce. Thanks
