re: Favorite store bought BBQ sauce

Cattlemen's Carolina Tangy Gold BBQ Sauce.



Great on grilled chicken.

quote:

---

I mix 1 part original sweet baby ray's and 1 part stubb's spicy to baste ribs or when I want a sweeter sauce

---

I used to do this all the time before I could get Jay D's sauce regularly.

I would save Stubb's bottles and buy one of each, mix half and half between the saved Stubb's bottle and the new one. Used that on everything, perfect sweet & spicy.


ETA: I need to try the Trader Joe's Sriracha Garlic one.

Dreamland if available in your area. It's vinegar/spicy enough. I don't play that sweet mess. I also like the cattleman's gold for chicken.

We like Sweet Baby Rays Honey Chipotle or Sweet & Spicy.
For some of you that like to make your own here is a copycat version for Dreamlands sauce. I've made this and it's really close to the original.

8 cups
1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree
1/3 cup yellow mustard
3 cups water
1 3/4-2 cups cider vinegar
1/4 cup karo dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon paprika
3 teaspoons ground red pepper
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1.Combine the tomato and mustard in a dutch oven.
2.Stir together until well mixed.
3.Add remaining ingredients.
4.Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
5.Serve warm with smoked or grilled ribs.
6.You can also do as we do at Dreamland, take a piece of plain white bread and dunk it in the sauce.
7.Absolute heaven in a bowl!

.Dreamland BBQ Sauce (Dreamgoddess's Copycat Version) Recipe #111661
Dreamland BBQ...one of THE best rib joints in the state of Alabama. They make ribs so delicious, it'll make you wanna cry! It's worth every minute of the two hour drive from my house just to eat their ribs, not to mention the plate of Sunbeam bread and bowl of barbecue sauce (for dipping the bread in, of course!) that's brought to the table when you first arrive. I found a copycat recipe (which was an excellent recipe, by the way)for their famous sauce on another website, but I thought it needed just a bit of tweaking. I think Dreamland's sauce has more of a vinegar taste to it and it is definitely hotter than the copycat recipe. This is my version of the copycat recipe that I've tweaked a bit to taste more (in my humble opinion) like Dreamland's original sauce. This recipe makes a very thin bbq sauce.
