I've had my Weber kettle running pretty consistently for the past few days. Over the weekend I did a tri-tip. Then a day or two later I cooked a pork loin roast; and just last night I did some chicken quarters. So now that I've got some left-over chicken and pork, it occurred to me that I need to whip up a batch of ... Alabama white sauce: 3/4 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons (or, to taste) cider vinegar 2 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper Examples of other ingredients which can also be included are fresh squeezed lemon juice, garlic powder, mustard powder, etc. |

I'm not a big fan of sauce for grilled or smoked meats. I prefer the inherent awesomeness of brisket or pork chops/loins, etc. That said, I think chicken benefits from a little sauce, especially breasts or split breasts. I use what is essentially the Neely's recipe except I add red pepper flakes and cayenne powder.
Ingredients 2 cups ketchup 1 cup water 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 5 tablespoons light brown sugar 5 tablespoons sugar 1/2 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper 1/2 tablespoon onion powder 1/2 tablespoon ground mustard 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce *cayenne *red pepper flakes Directions In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for 1 hour 15 minutes. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/cda/recipe_print/0,1946,FOOD_9936_116792_RECIPE-PRINT-FULL-PAGE-FORMATTER,00.html |

While not really a recipe, I've found that mixing two thirds picante sauce with one third store bought bbq sauce makes chicken taste mighty good when cooked on the grill. You can use crushed red pepper to kick the heat up to what ever level you like.

Here are two of mine. The first is my JD BBQ Sauce, which i've posted in another thread. The second is a modification of it, for people who prefer hot BBQ sauces to sweet ones.
JD BBQ Sauce 1 Cup catsup 1 Cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/4 Cup Jack Daniel's 1 Tbl honey (You may also substitute 1/4 Cup JD TN Honey for the 1/4 cup of JD and Tbl honey.) 1 Tbl Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp ground mustard Heat in a small saucepan until the sugar dissolves, and then allow to simmer for a few minutes. Enjoy. Louisiana Hot Sauce BBQ Sauce Same as above, except eliminate the JD and Honey (or JD TN Honey). Instead, season to taste with Louisiana Hot Sauce (or whichever hot sauce you prefer). |

I mixed up a batch of the Rudy's recipe for the fun of it today. I've never heard of them but it looked like a simple recipe. It wasn't bad, but IMO it had too much black pepper and Lea & Perrins in it. You could definitely taste both of those Next time I try I will halve those ingredients and add a bit more brown sugar.
I do like a sweet but vinegary tomato based sauce. If it's good enough, I'll sop it up with just some white bread and eat it.
I am usually looking for an easy way out and typically just modify off the shelf sauces. Most are not a lot more expensive than buying ketchup. We then add brown sugar or honey, lemon juice and vinegar to taste. |

When I'm making pulled pork, ribs, or brisket, I use a rub.
I make twice more rub than I need. It's basically Chili powder, Slap ya Mama (hot) Cajun seasoning, sea salt, black pepper, and a pinch of garam masala. After my protein is coated, I make 'Dip' out of the rest of the rub by adding cider vinegar, touch of Worcestershire sauce, a little catsup, and coarse grain mustard. I use this dip to baste the meat to keep it moist during the 'low & slow'. When the proteins are close to being done, I take the remaining dip and add the sugars which will caramelize and glaze it. I add some dark brown sugar, and molasses. The dip is now glaze/bbq sauce...and you have to be careful that the heat doesn't scorch the sugars. It's a 3 phase deal...and it works really well. Competition well.

I actually enjoy the peppery-ness of Rudy's, but it would be fairly difficult for me to judge how well this recipe compares to the original (just from memory) as I don't have any of the real stuff on hand. Ideally, someone who actually has a bottle of Rudy's would whip up a batch of this copycat recipe and then do a side-by-side blind taste test, and compare the two. |

Copycat Rudys BBQ sauce (original, before it changed) makes about 2 cups 1 8 oz can tomato sauce - Hunts No Salt Added 1 cup ketchup - Hunts with no HFCS 1/2 cup brown sugar - Cane Light Brown Sugar 2 1/2 Tbs white vinegar - Distilled White Vinegar 2 Tbs Lea & Perrins Worcestershire - Kroger brand 1/4 cup lemon juice (2 lemons) - 2 Lg Lemons, didn't measure 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp coarse black pepper - probably a little more 1/4 tsp comino (or cumin) 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper Combine all ingredients and bring to a low simmer for a few minutes until slightly reduced. Cool and serve. Simmering now. |

Recipe isn't tasting the same. There's a twangy "after taste" I can't put my finger on.
You can order Rudy's online, btw... Off to get my some brisket sandwiches and sause. |

OK, after simmering a while longer, the homemade sauce thickened up and lost that "after taste"; probably too much lemon juice.
I farked up at Rudy's and walked out with their sissy sauce. And I'm not running back through that cluster fuck of an intersection (DNT & SRT). Both sauces have a similar taste but the homemade has a better bite to it. So I'm gonna say, recipe is a good substitute. After some more tasting, I'd change the recipe in the following ways... Lemon - I put too much in, but since I didn't measure it .... I'd use just one lg lemon next time. Sugar - It's not a sweet sauce, but that's why I like this; however, maybe a touch more sugar or a stronger sugar than the light brown I used. Black Pepper - double the amount Cayenne - double the amount. |

Not sure how much of a difference this would make, but I went back and reviewed some the "notes" I made in the word doc that I saved, as I had found the recipe on a couple of different sites. Anyway, one thing was an emphasis on using actual Lea & Perrins worcestershire ... another was the possibility of using tomato puree rather than tomato sauce (but not paste). Adding some molasses is another option as well. Thanks again ! |

L&P vs store brand - probably a good call to follow the recipe. Sauce vs puree to me would be just a matter of how thick/thin you want it. Letting it simmer for a good hour really thickened it up.

The batch I made yesterday went into a pint size Ball jar, but I stuck it in the fridge.
I'll probably make up a big batch of this in a month. Shouldn't be any more difficult than canning tomatoes. |

I only used one lemon, and used more cayenne and pepper. The result? Not bad at all - it's definitely in the ballpark. My wife and I agree that it's too sweet and still too lemony. Next time, I'm starting with 1/3 cup brown sugar and half a lemon. The cumin is a vital ingredient though, and I never realized that it's what gives Rudy's its distinctive flavor. Gotta go heavy on the COARSE black pepper too. If you want a sweet BBQ sauce, then this is not for you. [ETA] After simmering for a while, it's not as lemony or sweet as it was when it first started heating but I will still cut back on sugar/lemon next time. I did go a little overboard on cayenne and pepper though.  |

We added to the above: 1 or 2 tsp Dijon mustard 1/2 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp onion 1 tsp balsamic vinegar 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground pepper I loved it. We made some baby back ribs for supper tonight as used it again. Fantastic. Thanks for the tip. |

Several times a year I'll take a ham and put it in the smoker with a shitload of rub. These are honest to God pig legs, mind you, not the shitty store-bought pressed meat variety. They've got fat all over and a big old hog femur in the middle. Then I make a rasberry chipolte sauce for it. I cook up about half an onion minced up to the point of it being translucent. Then I add in some of my wife's homemade raspberry jam and one to three finely chopped chipolte peppers and some of the adobo sauce. Then a little salt and pepper as well as a good dose of raspberry vinegar. Then I make up some slaw using nappa cabbage and shredded carrots with lime juice and zest, sesame oil, salt and pepper, sweet chili sauce, cilantro, and the littlest bit of sugar. That slaw, the sauce, and the ham pulled apart goes into some warm corn tortillas to make pulled ham tacos.

Tried something a little different the other day. Already had a batch of the home-made Rudy's sauce made up. I added some pure cane sugar cream soda to it. 2 parts sauce to 1 part soda. Simmered until it reduced.
3-2-1 ribs, with the sauce on for the last hour. Tasted pretty good.

My sauce is an evolution from rub, to mop, to sauce.
It starts out dry, then gets vinegar, beer, mustard, and other liquids to become mop, then gets the brown sugar, smoked peppers, and other stuff to become sauce. |

I like ketchup based sauces that are also sweet, vinegary and have a bit of heat .... I seldom measure
chop up some red onion ( a few slices) and a couple cloves of garlic, then put them in. pan with a it of oil over low heat chop up about 8 slices of pickled jalapeños and throw them in after the onion becomes translucent add about 4 tbs of brown sugar, let this cook for a while glop in about 2 cups of ketchup add about 3/4 cup cider viniger add a chipolte and a tablespoon or two of adobo sauce let simmer so the flavors grow together this will make a thick sauce. Add some fruit juice to thin. I usually use orange . |

depending on the taste i'm going for, i'll add some combination of (mustard, soy, teriyaki, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, citrus juice(lemon or orange), cider vinegar, brown sugar, cayenne pepper powder, honey, butter, crushed red pepper, hot sauce and garlic powder. if I don't feel like hitting the store first, i'll use a bit of ketchup as the base then add more of the above ingredients to get the desired result. whatever base i'm using, I put into a smaller sauce pan over low heat, then add the extras and stir(not constant, but frequent) while heating until the meat is done for things like chicken pieces or tenderloins, i'll baste them with the sauce for the last 10-15min frequently over a higher heat to glaze. for things like brisket, ribs..etc, I coat after taking it off the heat and let it sit, then liberally add the sauce just before serving. there is usually a lot of sauce left over that i'll keep in the fridge for later. I actually prefer the held sauce because it gives the flavors a longer time to meld and results in a more complex taste on the meat |

Love this thread.
I have made a bunch of sauces, but always fall back to the Sweet Baby Rays standard sauce. The Alabama White Sauce is one on my list of things to try, so thanks for posting up on those.
Jack Daniels sauce is excellent and I love all three flavors of Famous Daves sauce. When you can catch a good sauce on sale, it is easier than making your own.

I haven't experimented much with bbq sauce, but I did make some of Aaron Franklin's sauce one time and really enjoyed it. I liked that it wasn't too sweet or too tangy.
1 3/4 cups ketchup 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon white vinegar 1/4 tablespoons plus 11/2 teaspoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons plus 11/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon chile powder 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse black pepper Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and warm gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally. There is no need to bring the mixture to a boil, as the idea is just to warm it enough to melt and integrate the ingredients. Once you have done that, remove from the heat and let cool. Transfer to a jar, bottle, squeeze bottle, or however you want to store it. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. |
