Quick & Easy Barbeque Sauce

It doesn’t get much easier than this. The beauty of this recipe is it’s very flexible: more of this – less of that – no problem. Add cayenne or Tabasco if you like but I like it just this way, not too hot, sweet, and sticky. I’ve never found a bottled sauce this good! - Jenny Jones

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Makes: 1 cup

Homemade Barbeque Sauce Recipe - Jenny Jones | Jenny Can Cook (1)

Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons molasses
  • 2 Tablespoons spicy mustard (I use Guldens' Spicy Brown Mustard)
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder (NOT powdered chili pepper)

Instructions:

  1. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat and sauté onion & garlic for 2 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Add everything else and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 25 minutes. Sauce with thicken as it cools.

Notes: This is NOT a spicy, hot sauce. International cooks, please note: Use chili powder, NOT POWDERED CHILI PEPPER, which is extremely hot. For more on this recipe in my blog click here.

    Love this sauce. i don’t buy barbecue sauce anymore. I just whip this up fresh everytime i make ribs or pulled pork or chicken wings. I’m lazy so i don’t use onions, and i opt for garlic powder. other than that i follow everything else. oh and i use grainy dijon mustard. takes the sauce to a whole new level. i’m off to make a double batch for 5 lbs of pulled pork!

      If not using the fresh onion and garlic do you leave out the oil too?

        Hands down, BEST BBQ sauce ever! Made ribs with this sauce and store bought. Store bought sat there and were hardly touched, your BBQ sauce ribs were devoured almost instantly.

        If you are looking to make this sauce thicker mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and while your sauce is heating just stir this in and let it simmer for a bit and it will thicken.

          Thanks for the tip! I’ve made this recipe a million times (tasty) and will try this next time. Seems like too much water will all the vinegar. I have put in half the water without any change to the taste of the recipe but still not thicker no matter what I do.

            Does anyone know if I could substitute onion flakes for the finely choppy onion? My kids will not eat it otherwise.
            And, if so, would I still use 1/2 cup?

              Dried anything, including onions is more concentrated than fresh. I recommend 3 level Tablespoons if using flakes.

              Hi Jenny, I want to thank you for this recipe, I’ve been making this for a couple of years now, it’s so simple and quick. The only time I ever had a problem was when I used organic apple cider vinegar, it was waay too strong, Lesson learned, now I just buy the cheap store brand, works great. However, I just tried another recipe proclaiming to be the best ever, yuck!! what a waste of time and ingredients, I promise to never stray again!! I now keep a mason jar of your sauce in my fridge all summer long, and to anyone wondering about freezing this sauce, I’ve done this many times with no problem.

              Is there anything I can use other than the molasses, can’t find molasses at my grocery store. Wondering if the sauce would be just as good without it…

                After I saw your coment I treid using honey and dark corn syrup. The honey worked the best but gave off a sweeter smell on the barbque sauce.(It was a bit runny too but no difference when cooking with it.)

                You can use dark brown sugar instead of brown sugar, that had molasses in it, the dark brown.

                The first time I made this sauce I didn’t have molasses, so I substituted maple syrup. Everyone loved it and wanted a do over. Tonight I’ll be trying it with molasses. Thank you for the recipe. It’s a keeper!

                  I absolutely LOVE these ribs, sauce and dry rub!!! I was always scared to make ribs but this is sooo easy and delicious. I’m just wondering how to thicken the bbq sauce even further.. I’ve follows the recipe word for word but I still find that it’s a bit liquidy..
                  Any suggestions?!

                    Just cook it longer (uncovered). Any sauce will thicken the longer it cooks.

                      To thicken, simply simmer longer. I leave mine on low for 4 hours while ribs are in oven on 200 same length of time.

                      I love this recipe! I have made it several times using both your rub and sauce. They are the best! Highly recommend this recipe. I do make double the amount of rub and have it on hand in case I need a little more in the moment.
                      Love, love, this rub recipe!

                        Jenny,
                        Chile Powder is pure chili
                        Chili Powder is a mixed blend of spices.

                        Dear Jenny I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for this amazing recipe. I have been married for 30 years and have three grown children and believe it or not I have never made ribs. Someone gifted us three racks of beautiful baby back ribs and after countless videos I have chosen this one to use. Your steps are very simple and easy to follow especially for a novice like myself. Just wanted to say how much I appreciated your sharing it with us.

                          Probably the brown sugar or molasses, but I don’t know if you can have true BBQ sauce without both. Maybe reduce the amount?

                          I made this sauce on 8/2/20. Let me tell you, it is better than any sauce, stickier and thicker than any store bought sauces I have ever used. I used No Salt ketchup because my husband is on a low sodium diet! He loved it so much he used it on multiple foods not just the ribs! I also made your ribs and rub. I am not into ribs but my husband could not get enough of this stuff! Thank you for sharing!

                              I cooked it down on low heat so it reduces and thickens. I also used only 1/3 the chili powder.

                                  Hey long time cook/chef owner of two restaurants in seattle back in the 80s. As a general rule a sauce with alot of vinegar will keep for quite awhile, but yes you can freeze just about anything. I make huge batches of homemade mozzarella cheese and freeze it for months. Same with tomato sauce from garden tomatoes etc.

                                  I had ribs in the oven and realized I had no barbecue sauce, so, to google I went. I found this recipe, and after lots of searching, I found pretty much everything I needed in your ingredients list. I was thrilled. Even more so when we ate the ribs, they were delicious. Compliments from the whole family. Thank you so much for posting this, I see that it is your hobby, and it is lovely of you to share your hobby with those of us at home. 🙂

                                    Hi Jenny, made your BBQ sauce yesterday to use on chicken breast we’ll be grilling today. I accidentally left out the chili powder yesterday and realized it this morning. I’m in the process of reheating the BBQ sauce with the addition of the 2 teaspoons chili powder in your recipe, and it’s so good! I just wanted you to know that we loved the sauce Even without The chili powder! My husband called it a sweet and sour BBQ sauce and we both agreed it’d make a wonderful sweet and sour chicken dish using pineapple and ginger. Or, as we intended, on grilled chicken. Thank you from the great state of Louisiana

                                    Everyone enjoyed the ribs. I made your classic BBQ sauce and a second spicy version.
                                    I put the extra sauce in the refrigerator. How long will it keep?

                                    I put a little liquid smoke in the barbeque sauce… Delicious hint of smoke. Ribs are in the oven now. I’ll let you know how they turned out. Thank you.

                                      Wow. Superbowl menu was great. Ribs were the star of the show. The sauce thickened up perfectly. That flavor is spectacular. The cider vinegar helps with the heat. Definitely will make these again.

                                        I’ve made this sauce many times and if you follow the recipe exactly with no changes, and cook it for the recommended time it will thicken. Sometimes people don’t realize that a small (or accidental) change in a recipe can make a big difference in the result so try it again and double-check every ingredient as you go. It will turn out as shown.

                                          Dear Jenny:

                                          I was searching for and Barbeque Ribs recipe and I came across your YouTube video. I kept thinking that you looked so familiar and then I remembered your talk show. I love the step by step process that you shared. I made your recipes four times now, Rub and Barbeque Sauce. Wow, the taste and fall off the bone tenderness is so delicious.

                                          I did use Sir Kensington Spicy Brown Mustard instead of the dry powdered mustard and minced garlic rather than the garlic powder. The Rub still applies well with extra care to spread it on the ribs, rather than dipping in the dry mix.

                                          Thank you for sharing your awesome recipes. Wishing you Blessing & Health. Ms. Lynda

                                          Thank you for this recipe as well as ribs and rub ,it took me way back to early 60*s ! My mom made a pot of ribs and sauce,she would make it once in awhile but through life changes she forgot recipe and we would try to figure out but never did! Until last night made your recipe,so again thank you very much.Love your videos and will try other recipes.

                                            You could, but every time I’ve left this out it seems to be missing something. It’s also what gives it that beautiful brown color and rich flavor.

                                            Im making the ribs with the rub and bbq sauce, but i am cooking them on the grill instead. My family insisted with some hickory wood chips. Sauce cooking away, will report back as to how my babybacks came out.

                                              For the first time in my 69 years, I have made the most delicious ribs in my life, homemade from the rub to the BBQ Souce which both have become staple for chicken and ribs, of course. And so simple that to me it’s the true Art of Cooking. (I make your no-knead 5 minute bread since 5 mos ago – to die for as well) you’ve changed my family’s life and mine forever. THANKS

                                              Love the sauce. Do you know if it can be made in larger amounts and then canned? It would make for great gifts. Thanks

                                              Do you use the light or dark brown sugar, or does it matter? The ribs look amazing btw!!!

                                                I used both the rub and made BBQ sauce! Loved it! My husband tried the sauce on his chicken and loved it. I will never use anything else.

                                                  You can use any spicy mustard, Jenny used Guldens Brown, I used a Swedish one that was slightly less spicy, turns out perfect either way, thanks Jenny!!???

                                                  Making them now for super bowl! The BBQ sauce smells like balsamic is that ok? I also used shallots instead of an onion

                                                  These are the best. Better than anything in a restaurant.

                                                  I love your no knead simply wonderful bread and so does everyone that I share it with…and I make it much more often than I should.
                                                  Your Fall Off The Bone Ribs are exactly that. I am really picky about BBQ sauce and like very few The recipe you shared with us for the ribs will be the only one I use from now on. It is much like my mother used to make. I asked my granddaughter if she wanted to taste what she thought smelled heavenly. With a giant smile and an empty spoonf she pronounced, “Who needs ribs?” Dinner was a big hit with everyone that evening!!!
                                                  THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!!

                                                  This is the second time I made this, but I am not sure why my sauce still end up running any ideas?

                                                      I made this again last night and it turned out really well. It’s not runny as before. I think the reason why it was runny on those two occasions is because of the ketchup I was using. yeah, the cheap kind, lol.

                                                      Maybe you didn’t simmer the sauce down until it was thick enough. I think Jenny says 25 minutes, but depending on your simmer heat it will vary. I suggest you try to cook it down more.

                                                      On molasses…molasses delivers a deeper flavor than honey. Being diabetic I can’t use either of those and substitute Splenda ‘maple syrup’ and a dash of smoke flavoring.

                                                        THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR POST!!! My husband is a diabetic and we are just learning about diabetes, so we don’t know what to substitute for sugar. Thank you for your suggestion so we can make this BBQ without worrying too much about my husband’s blood sugar. Any other substitutions for sugary recipes?

                                                          Sugar Substitutes: Erythritol, Splenda (pure), and Monkfruit. You can purchase them in just about any health food store and larger grocery chains stock them. Great for diabetics.

                                                          This sauce is OFF THE CHAIN! Delicious. I added a couple of dashes of liquid smoke for a mesquite touch.

                                                          I always have raw honey available, can I use this instead of molasses?

                                                            My guess is that these two ingredients, being so dissimilar in color, flavor and sweetness, would significantly alter the final taste of the sauce, beyond what Jenny’s recipe delivers.

                                                            That’s not to say it would not suffice in a barbeque sauce- only different.
                                                            Go ahead and try it…if it fills the bill for you, what’s not to like?… 🙂

                                                            Hi can I use veal instead of beef or pork ribs to make this recipe?

Thank you so much for posting your recipe — I will definitely be using this as my go-to rib recipe and your BBQ sauce is addicting!! And I love your website and you are adorable! Blessings to you!.

                                                                    I have looked at A LOT of recipes for great ribs. I’m making yours for my husband to take to tailgate at the KC CHIEFS & SAND DIEGO CHARGERS GAME SUNDAY. I hope they will be OK to put on a grill to warm. THANK YOU & I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES.
