I love barbecue sauce. \u00a0Really love it. \u00a0While everyone reaches for the bottle of ketchup for their fries and chicken tenders, I ask for the barbecue sauce. \u00a0But, it can\u2019t be just any barbecue sauce. \u00a0I\u2019m pretty picky. \u00a0There are so many different kinds of bbq sauces: thick and spicy, smokey, tomato-y, and sweet.<\/p>\n

This particular barbecue sauce is thick and not overly spicy. \u00a0It\u2019s not overly vinegary, either, because I can\u2019t stand dipping fries into barbecue sauce and tasting vinegar in my mouth for the next few hours (eww!). \u00a0It\u2019s got some brown sugar in it to give it just the right amount of sweetness.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to rush to the store to buy special ingredients for this, either. \u00a0A few basic ingredients are all you need. \u00a0And an hour to simmer this saucy goodness. \u00a0So, if thick, perfectly spicy and sweet homemade barbecue sauce is your thing, welcome to the club, and get cookin\u2019! \u00a0Brush the sauce on some chicken, dip some fries in it, smother roasted potatoes with it, or make baked beans with it. \u00a0Spread the barbecue sauce love\u2026<\/p>\n

This is the first of my classic summer recipes series. \u00a0Each week, I\u2019ll be bringing you recipes of those summer dishes you just have to have every year.\u00a0<\/em>So, what are your favorite summer recipes? \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
