Steps

Method 1 of 5: Easy Microwave BBQ Sauce

Great if you like an easy and quick way to make a sauce

1. 1 Place the butter, garlic, and onions in a microwave-safe bowl. Place in the microwave and cook on high heat for 2-3 minutes, until the butter is melted and the onions and garlic are tender.
2. 2 Add the rest of the ingredients. Add ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, paprika, ground red pepper, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
3. 3 Cook in microwave on high heat for 7 minutes. Stir the sauce once or twice during cooking to ensure even heating. The sauce is ready when it is hot and thick.
   • You can also heat the sauce in a water bath. Bring water in a saucepan to a boil and place a bowl of sauce on top.
4. 4 Mix well. Remove the sauce from the microwave. Be careful not to burn yourself. Stir the sauce well with a fork. If you don't like chunks of onion, you can add a little water to the sauce and process it with a blender or food processor.
5. 5 Serve or store. You can use the sauce immediately or store it in a glass jar in the refrigerator until later.

Method 2 of 5: Classic Homemade BBQ Sauce

This stovetop sauce method eliminates many of the preservatives and synthetic flavors found in many ready-made sauces.

1. 1 Sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic. Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet or saucepan and sauté the onions and garlic in it until soft and slightly brown.
2. 2 Add seasoning, molasses and sugar. Add salt, ground red pepper, cumin, coriander, molasses and sugar to the pan and stir well to combine the ingredients. Bring to a boil and cook for three minutes.
3. 3 Add the diced tomatoes and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and bring the contents of the pan to a boil.
4. 4 Cook over low heat for 2-3 hours. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for two to three hours. The sauce should become thick and dark.
5. 5 Add remaining ingredients. Remove skillet from heat and add white vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. 6 Grind. Pour the sauce into a blender or food processor, add at least two glasses of water (or more, depending on the consistency you want) and stir until smooth. You can use the sauce right away or store it in the refrigerator in a glass jar.
