My kids and I do not eat artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners. I went searching for a BBQ recipe,mainly for me, but as an option for them if they wanted it. One doesn't like spice, but the oldest is more adventurous in some things! We both LOVED this sauce! Thank you so much for posting it though I am going to have to Google the Neely's and see who they are. :) I also did not add the corn syrup as we avoid that as well. I left out the vinegar as well because I did not have any. I am glad I did since there was a definite "twang" to the sauce. I will probably cut back on the lemon next time and maybe try tomato sauce instead of the ketchup. Overall though I was very pleased with the recipe! Thanks again!

Omitted the corn syrup and bbq seasoning as I didn't have any, replaced with a bit more brown sugar and 1 tsp each of chili powder and paprika. Added a tiny bit of vegetable oil as I was going to use it for a marinade. Turned out very nice, went well with the ribs I made.

Loved it. But then again, this is how I prefer my BBQ sauce. . .tangy and sweet with a kick! Will use it atop a veggie loaf tonight. Thanks for posting, Sharon!!!

Very tasty!! Was thick like bottled sauce and I liked that it didn't have chopped onions or garlic in it; I do not like chunky BBQ sauce. Made as is, left out the red pepper flakes and reduced to 1 cup. Will be making this rather than buying the bottled stuff! Made for Newest Zaar Tag Feb 2010.
