My wife likes Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce and isn't a fan of the homemade bbq sauce I usually make. When I ran out of my sauce, I decided to make a different one. I did some snooping on the Internet and found some faux Sweet Baby Ray's recipes. Here is the one I tried.
1 1/2 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup pineapple juice (or you can use apple cider vinegar)
1/4 cup water
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon ground mustard
1 Tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
I mixed all the ingredients together with a whisk then brought it to a boil on med/high heat then simmered for 5 minutes. It tasted very similar to SBR's sauce according to my wife, although a little smokey. Next time I'll either eliminate the liquid smoke or only add 1 tsp.
