Our sister-in-law, Johanne, gave us this BBQ sauce recipe over 20 years ago – and it is still the only BBQ sauce we use today! It’s so handy and easy to make as it doesn’t have any weird ingredients so we usually have everything in our fridge/pantry when we want to make it.

Extra Meaty Back Ribs with The Best BBQ Sauce

The Best BBQ Sauce Recipe

3 tbsp             ketchup

1 tbsp             soy sauce

1.5 tbsp          maple syrup – the real kind (sweet)

1 tbsp             fresh lemon juice (acidic)

1 tsp                finely chopped garlic (savory)

1 tsp                hot sauce (heat)

To make this recipe to your own liking all you have to do is adjust the sweet, acidic, savory or heat as you like by increasing or decreasing the amounts of those basic ingredients.

This makes about ½ a cup of sauce so you can double or triple the recipe as you need. It also keeps well in the fridge for about a week so easy to make ahead.

So simple – so good!

Enjoy.
