Oh this is so good! I halved the recipe (I was using it as the base for a BBQ chicken pizza) and because I didn’t have any tomato paste on hand, I used an all natural ketchup in it’s place. Because the ketchup is already sweet and has vinegar in it, I just added a little less maple syrup and white wine vinegar. This will be my “go-to” BBQ sauce from now on!
The maple syrup is what caught my eye in this recipe. I have tried many BBQ sauce recipes from scratch and this is by far the best I have tasted. I didn’t have White Wine Vinegar so I used Red instead. I also didn’t add all the vinegar at once and after combining I added it to my taste. I ended up using about 4 Tbs instead of 6 but that’s personal preference and White is not as strong as Red. The smoke flavor really pops and the maple syrup adds a subtle and unique sweetness combining with the smoke beautifully. Bravo! (and the pictures on your blog are fantastic!)
Absolutely fabulous. This sauce tasted so much better than anything you can buy in a store and is so easy to make! I will be making this again and again. Thanks for a great recipe!

I’ve never made bbq sauce or purchased liquid smoke for that matter…. This recipe has tempted me to do both this week

Tried this last week, it’s really good! Didn’t have onion powder or garlic powder so I used garlic salt instead and it turned out great, thanks!
