Homemade BBQ Sauce {Great Over Pork or Other Meat}

Anyone else a BBQ lover?  I love it in lots of forms. On a good burger, over chicken or pork and shredded for a sandwich, on some homemade mack and cheese, etc. I don't always make homemade BBQ sauce (Stubb's Origninal or Spicy is my favorite bottled kind), but this recipe is one of my favorites. It's really rich and thick with tomato flavor and has the perfect spice blend, and you can whip it together in a matter of minutes.  My friend, Sara, gave it to me several years ago - and it's one we've enjoyed over and over.  Sometimes we just put the sauce over some pork ribs and serve them some kind of potato and other times I shred the meat for a pulled pork sandwich, one of our favorites! 

This week my in-laws have been staying with us and we've been making lots of gluten-free food. This BBQ sauce fits the bill - and we all enjoyed it. I did serve it with French Bread Rolls for those that want.  We also served it with dutch oven style potatoes (make sure you try those) and a green salad. 

Hope you'll enjoy!
