Anyone have a slow-cooked, from-scratch, tomato-based BBQ sauce recipe they like?

I'd swear I've seen something posted to this board, but I couldn't find it while searching.

Not from me, mine always start from ketchup... I let someone else do the slow part and then I rush in all quick like in the end.

I made a really good one from MC last weekend ( no exotic ingredients or methods ) but it too started with ketchup.

Sorry, just pizza sauce from scratch.

Favorite BBQ sauce recipe? topic from last year?

My favorite also uses Ketchup for a base. BBQ sauce just does not taste quite right without the maize nectar that is found most Ketchup.

Jim,

Oh, there we go. For some reason the full-text search on this board blocks the work "sauce" which makes searching for that somewhat difficult. I'll have to delve into the code and find out why that is.

I used the later version of the CI recipe (the one cited on that thread), only I swapped bourbon for most of the vinegar, and used dried whole peppers instead of chili powder. Too tomato-ey. Was more of a tomato-chili sauce than a BBQ sauce; adding it up again as written, the sugar/molasses/bourbon is out of proportion with the tomato ingredients. It should use a single can of crushed tomatoes and no sauce.

Really, I should copy the Key Lime Pie recipe and the Caesar Salad recpies out of The Best Recipe and toss the book. I rarely use it for anything else, and when I do, I'm usually disappointed.

following up ...

Looks like this board is using PHPBB search instead of database full-text search. I'll add that to my TODO list of things to fix.

IF you subscribed and entered your library, Eat Your Books would find if you already own something . . .

Wino,

Yah, that's how I turned up the Best Recipe recipe. The problem with not eating meat is that you don't own any "grill" books, and that's where most of the BBQ recipes are.

Too tomato-ey.

Try ketchup.
