Add Zest To Your Barbecue Sauce 2.0

If you've never made a barbecue sauce from scratch before, you'll be surprised how tasty it is. Most sauces have a base of ketchup or tomato sauce. Many have onion and garlic. Vinegar is a key ingredient in many sauces; cider vinegar is particularly good. A sweet ingredient is incorporated into many sauces, such as brown sugar or honey. Citrus juice is often added; orange, lemon and lime are all popular. Then of course you have spice. Chili powder, or diced fresh chillies, are a staple of southwestern style sauces. Pepper is almost always an ingredient of a barbecue sauce or marinade as well. Worcestershire and/or soy sauce can give your homemade sauce an extra kick. Dried or fresh herbs are also frequently used in sauces: Oregano, rosemary, thyme and cilantro each work well.

With the basics of barbecue sauce and marinades you can create a variety of flavorful sauces. But the great thing about making your own sauces is that with a little imagination you can employ dozens of other ingredients to create your own unique sauce. Take vinegar for instance. Try the more intensely flavored balsamic vinegar and see how that enhances the taste of your sauce.
