I don’t really like shop-bought BBQ sauce, it just doesn’t do anything for me. So, of course, I had to come up with my own version and with me being a chilli freak my sauce has to have a kick.
I think it’s better than your standard BBQ sauce but I would say that. It’s perfect poured over pulled pork, smother over ribs, on your burger, basically, it tastes good on anything.

Ingredients
1 large onion, roughly chopped.
4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped.
2 tsps of chipotle paste.
1 tsp of cayenne pepper.
1 tsp of chilli flakes.
2 tsps of smoked paprika.
4 tbsps of Worcestershire sauce.
4 tbsps of apple cider vinegar.
800 ml of tomato ketchup.
200 ml of yellow mustard.
3 tbsps dark muscovado sugar.
3 tbsps of honey.
Method
In a large pot over medium-high heat add a splash of oil and fry the onions for 7 - 10 minutes with a pinch of salt. Turn the heat right down, add the garlic and continue to cook for another couple of minutes. Give it a good stir and keep your eye on it, you don’t want the garlic to catch.
Next add the cayenne pepper, chilli flakes, chipotle paste, mix well and cook for a couple of minutes.
Now add the rest of the ingredients, mix everything together and simmer for 15 minutes. Use a handheld blender and whizz to get rid of any bits of onion or garlic, add a little water if you think it’s too thick. Allow to cool and store in a clean glass jar or a squeezy bottle.In a large pot over medium-high heat add a splash of oil and fry the onions for 7 - 10 minutes with a pinch of salt.
