Deep South Dish Signature Barbecue Sauce

Like all regions of The South, we also have our own style of barbecue sauce, and here in the Deep South it's spicy sweet! Homemade is just so easy y'all, really it is! Give it a try and make this your signature sauce too.

Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Sauce

This is my personal homemade signature recipe for a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. When I created it, I was trying to duplicate the flavor of a very popular barbecue joint here on the coast. There are a lot of commercial barbecue sauces on the market today - some good, some fantastic - and I can tell you how to dress up the less expensive stuff that is always on sale too - but... you really can't beat a good homemade sauce. This one has the favored combination of spicy sweet that we love down here on The Coast, and I think it turned out excellent!  You can see this sauce in action on some yummy ribs here and here.

Don't have the time to do a homemade barbecue sauce?  Have a peek at this cool way to dress up store-bought sauce.  Enjoy!

If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!
