Homemade barbeque sauce is the best. Seriously! If you've tried to purchase barbeque sauce in the store you'll see most recipes have corn syrup in them. This no corn syrup BBQ sauce recipe is a great way to enjoy your favorite BBQ without the added sugar. It's easy to make and can be used on a variety of meats, including chicken, beef, and pork.
Let's Get Started Making the Best BBQ Sauce Recipe!
A few months ago I came across a recipe for a homemade BBQ sauce recipe. It didn't have corn syrup in it, but promised that it would taste just as good as the recipes that did.
It earns rave reviews from the troops every time I make it.
I've now used it to make my best slow cooker ribs, our family sized BBQ chicken salad, and barbeque chicken nachos.

Questions About Making Homemade BBQ Sauce
Can I use different sugar?
Yes, you can use substitutions for the sugar. Please note that alternative sugars (other than coconut sugar) have not been tested with this recipe and may change the texture or consistency of the sauce once heated. Coconut sugar substituted well in this recipe.
How many cups of barbeque sauce does this recipe make?
This recipe yields approximately 2 cups of barbeque sauce.
Storing barbeque sauce
To store, cool to room temperature and then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to three months. I recommend freezing the sauce in ice cube trays (or in premeasured portions) for easier use in recipes. Approximately 12 ice cubes=1 cup of sauce. I typically use 1-2 ice cubes for one chicken breast. Thaw before use.

I have never had homemade bbq sauce, Im going to have to make this for next time instead of the bottled junk.
This sounds wonderful! My husband loves bbq sauce and this recipe is great since it has no corn syrup. Thanks for sharing and can't wait to give this a try 🙂
It sounds good but I prefer brown sugar and a little molasses to my homemade sauce. Thanks for telling me how much it makes as not all recipes state this.
