Make it Yourself: Barbecue Sauce
"Sweet, tangy barbecue sauce can be a (non-ketchup!) shortcut to making meals family friendly. Whether brushed onto grilled chicken, folded into meatloaf, or set on the side for dipping, it offers big flavor in a snap. But too often the bottled stuff is overwhelmingly sweet or distractingly smoky. Striking a balance between the two flavors is key. That’s why we make it ourselves, and you can, too, using nothing but a combo of ingredients you’d already have in the pantry. Want more bite? Amp up the vinegar. Less heat? Omit the cayenne. It’s our recipe but your rules...."
