My sister and I threw a surprise 60th birthday party for my Dad this weekend and I smoked ribs and made my own barbecue sauce from scratch for the first time.
I wanted to base the sauce on chipotle peppers that I smoked from jalapeI grew in my garden.
It turned out really good. BBQ sauce consisted of-
1 can of tomato sauce
apple cider vinegar
worcestershire sauce
Black strap molasses
Honey
chipotles, canned pineapple rings, and granny smith apple that I also smoked.
Garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Can't give specifics on measurements because I just kept adding and tasting till I thought it was right.
Everything turned out good. Smoked the ribs for about 6 hours with a combination of apple and pecan wood chips and finished in the oven. Would have smoked longer but time became an issue.
