Recipe Tips
- If you love a smoky flavor in your BBQ Sauce, then try adding a couple of drops of liquid smoke. This liquid will add a ton of flavor to the sauce.
- You can also try swapping the brown sugar for honey instead, or you can do 50/50. This alteration will give you a honey BBQ sauce that is delicious.
- To get a perfectly smooth BBQ sauce, you will need to push it through a sieve. Doing this will remove any lumps and leave you with a silky-smooth sauce.
- The type of apple that you use should be a cooking apple such as granny smith. With that said, most variations of apple will still work fine.
- Treacle can be replaced with regular molasses. However, do not use blackstrap molasses as it can be quite bitter.
- You can reduce the sugar slightly if you prefer your BBQ sauce to be tangy rather than sweet.
