DIY Barbeque Sauce for Dad

March 27, 2024

This DIY BBQ Sauce is a delicious and practical Father’s Day gift that Dad will love.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke, optional 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce
  • 1/8 cup water, as needed 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon minced garlic 
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Help children measure out all the ingredients and add them to a large stockpot.
2. Children can stir after every addition if desired, but it doesn't need stirring until the cooking phase.
3. Place the stockpot over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
4. The sauce is done when all ingredients are completely combined and the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a 
     spoon. This should take about 5 minutes.
5. Allow the BBQ sauce to cool completely before pouring into individual mason jars.
6. Secure the mason jar lids and add additional gift embellishments, as desired.
7. Let each child name their sauce jar (for example, “Griller's Gold Sauce” or “BBQ King's Special Sauce.”
