Wow! I am really excited to find this recipe. I added the ingredients to my baked bean recipe in place of the BBQ sauce and everyone loved it! The only change I made was to use a bit less lemon juice. This is so much healthier with less sugar content than the regular stuff. I'm sure I will be using this often. Thanks for posting! -
This was a SUPER BBQ sauce ! I subbed lime juice for the lemon, and doubled the tomato sauce as I needed alot of sauce, but it did not seem to detract from the flavors ~ tart, tangy, and a little spicy and very much kid-friendly too! Thanks for this super-easy recipe Paula, we loved it. Made for PARTYING THE DIABETIC WAY, January 2010! -
Paula - this sauce was a winner in our house and so easy to make. I used it tonight with some left-over Slow Cooker Herb Pork Roast (#31161) that I shredded for sandwiches. I served with Coleslaw #47606 and some left-over pinto beans. Excellent recipe which I am moving to my "Tried and True" folder. -
I made this to top baked chicken and although my DH didn't like the chicken itself (he hates chicken), he did like the BBQ sauce. The whole family liked it. I only made two small changes. I used regular vinegar instead of the apple cider vinegar because that was all I had on hand. I also used fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder. Thank you Paula for posting this recipe. I will be use it often.

I also added the Worcestershire sauce. It had just the right spicy zing for the Baked Barbecue Tortilla Chips #115754! Thanks!!

I added 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce and used white vinegar instead. Great, easy sauce to make. Using it for a BBQ chicken pizza. Thanks for the great recipe!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
