Homemade Honey Barbecue Sauce – Quick and easy recipe for homemade barbecue sauce!
Hi Hi, again! Great to see you! I’m just popping in really quick to share this Homemade Honey Barbecue Sauce recipe with you, just in time for our Crock Pot Pineapple Barbecue Sauce Pork Chops Recipe.
HOMEMADE BARBECUE SAUCE
I have one thing to say, though: STOP buying Barbecue Sauce. Just stop. Too much sugar, too much sodium, too much “X” words in the ingredients that we can’t pronounce… it’s just overboard.
You don’t need all that and it is much better when you can make your own, especially when it is this easy.
I use this Barbecue Sauce on pork, chicken, meatballs, and on anything else that can somehow be turned into a sweet and sour deal.
INGREDIENTS FOR HONEY BARBECUE SAUCE
Also, you should know that this is not about some fancy ingredients. All this involves is some ketchup, a bit of honey, apple cider vinegar, and a perfect dose of worcestershire sauce. All together cooked down to a perfect thickness and slathered over your favorite chops. Or chicken.
ENJOY!

I love this! I’m a big, big fan of barbecue sauce, and years ago I was shocked … and heartbroken … to scan the bottle of my then-favorite sauce and see the very first ingredient was high-fructose corn syrup.
