Serving Suggestions
This is a sweet BBQ sauce so it goes very well with pork, especially baby back ribs. It’ll work well on most meats, but if you’re cooking beef then you’ll probably want to try my beef BBQ sauce recipe instead which is less sweet and more peppery.
Variations
It’s easy to spice this BBQ sauce up by adding half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, or grinding up some dried chillis like Chipotle.
You can also turn this into a honey and mustard sauce very easily by adding 1/4 cup of honey and 1/8 cup of american mustard (like French’s)
