I like to make my own sauce if I have the time and when i do I always leave out the liquid smoke flavor so common in BBQ sauces in favor of my hard won natural smoke flavor.So do you make your own tomato based or do you use other fruits and sugars?
A better question would be....Does anyone not make their own?
:clap2:
I used to. In fact I was really close to perfecting both an apple-based sauce as well as one based on orange soda (sounds weird, but it's fantastic on brisket) until I found Blues Hog. I can get jars of that for $3.78 at my local grocery store and it's seriously better and more versatile than anything I've came up with on my own.
