This is a very easy BBQ sauce to put together. It has a nice variety of flavors and goes well with all sorts of meats. The aroma of it's cooking is enough to make your mouth water just anticipating the taste. Feel free to double or triple the recipe.

I am impressed that finally someone has come up with a BBQ Sauce that doesn't require using liquid smoke, but relies on a grill doing what it's meant to do. Have you ever tried this on vegetables? Thank you Julia and thank your son. You are lucky to have a son who
can cook.

Thumbs Up.

Hi HP,
As a matter of fact, yes, we did put the sauce on thick slices of sweet vidalia onion and on slices of zucchini. Both were very good. I'm not sure what other vegetables it'd work on, but if you do any experimenting, do let us know. I'd think yellow squash would work, and I'm trying to "taste in my mind" the flavor of that sauce on slices of sweet potato.

It should work really well on green or red bell peppers and if you're making kebobs, just about any fruit you select should be fine. As I said, let us know what your imagination comes up with.

Thank you for feedback and a great question.
Julia

Yum, gotta love a guy who can really cook like this! I've gotta try making this someday. I'm only sorry my younger daughter couldn't try it. She's highly allergic to pineapple.

Can you tell me what you mean by hot sauce please? Obviously not Tabasco.

Hi Heather,

Although Tabasco would be too hot for my family, there are people who would prefer it to a lesser hot sauce. We use a brand named Tapatio which is quite a bit less hot on the scale,

and is a very flavorful sauce. It may not be available in your homeland, so if you can only find Tabasco, I'd think a few drops of that one would work all right. Of course, you can leave it out all together too, or simply mince a very small jalapeno pepper and add that at the beginning of the cooking time. I wish you could get the Tapatio brand there. It has such a wonderful flavor without being over-poweringly spicy hot.

Thank you for asking as others might have the same question.
Hope this helps.
