Making your own BBQ sauce is much better than the store bought stuff. You can control the sweetness, spiciness and heat and leave out all the preservatives and high fructose corn syrup. I like to make it in small batches and use it all up so it’s nice and fresh.

The best barbecue sauce in the world

2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup minced onion
1/4 cup minced green pepper
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 Tbsp minced garlic Pinch kosher salt
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup water
6 Tbsp dark brown sugar
6 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup apple-cider vinegar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp molasses
2 Tbsp Korean chili sauce
2 Tbsp cayenne hot sauce
2 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
1/2 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp ground allspice

Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Cook the onion, green pepper, jalapeno, and garlic until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Puree in a blender for a smooth consistency. Stores in fridge for up to a week in a well sealed container.
