blackbear's grilling sauce
This is my husband's recipe, and he finally gave it to me to share. It is so yummy I could drink it right out of the container! This sauce goes well with pork, steak, and chicken! It takes some time to reduce it, but it is worth it. I hope you will give it a try. The above ingredients will be enough for 10-14 pounds of chosen meat. However, you can grill smaller batches of meat and put the remaining sauce in the fridge. This sauce can be a little spicy so if you don't like hot then either reduce or eliminate the peppers. You will still have a great-tasting sauce without the heat.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This versatile homemade barbecue sauce is delicious. The grilling sauce is sweet with a slight kick. It will enhance any meat it's used on (chicken, steak, pork, etc). About halfway through the cooking process, we started to baste the chicken with the sauce. As the meat cooks, the sauce gets sticky and slightly caramelizes. This sauce will be a tasty way to enhance summer cookouts. Voted Members' Choice!
