Commercial Tangy BBQ Sauce Search

[protege2k]

Folks, I am on a search for a Tangy BBQ sauce that is not so sweet, like Carson's Ribs BBQ Sauce. Any thoughts/nominations?

Also, what is your favorite non-homemade BBQ Sauce?

The sauce is darn good. Add a little heat.

Heinz tomato ketchup.

Goes with everything

Other than that I've yet to taste a commercial 'bbq' sauce I've ever wanted to open another bottle of.
They all have too much salt, too much sugar and way too many additives.

My current favourite is my peach bbq sauce. That's easy to make and pretty tangy and non-sweet

Also it keeps amazingly well - had some in a tub in the fridge for a few months now - still good as the day it was made and has been usde with a huge variety of foods

In fact now you've reminded me, I might have it on whatever I end up eating tonight
Got some pulled lamb in the freezer, make some tacos...
It'sa plan

I haven't tried the real Rudy's, my go to is the clone recipe BBQ E posted of it.

If I do buy a sauce, which I haven't for a long time it would be cookies BBQ sauce.

Blues Hog Tennessee Red. A very tangy sauce or a good tangy white sauce is the Alabama White Sauce. There are several out there.

The Tenn. Red is a vinegar base and very thin and has some great flavors going on.
I love to combine the two sauces 50/50 regular and tenn red for a sweet and tangy treat.



here are three tangy sauces I like to have on hand...

West Carolina Vinegar Sauce:
2 c. cider vinegar
1/2 c plus 2 tbsp ketchup
1/4 c firm packed brown sugar
5 tsp salt
4 tsp hot red pepper flakes
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp ground white pepper
- Combine all ingredients and whisk together. Use immediately or refrigerate overnight for more developed taste

East Carolina Vinegar Sauce:
1 c cider vinegar
1 c white vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp cayenne
1 tbsp tabasco sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
- Combine all ingredients and whisk together. User immediately or refrigerate overnight for more developed taste

Alabama White Sauce
1 c mayonnaise
3/4 c white vinegar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp prepared horseradish
1 tsp salt
- Combine all ingredients and whisk together. User immediately or refrigerate overnight for more developed taste

Two of my favorite non homemade sauces are Rudy's BBQ Sauce and for Ribs, I really like the Salt Lick BBQ Sauce Which is a mustard based sauce. I think both are incredible!

I like the Rudy's Clone a lot... it is my go-to sauce. http://www.smoked-meat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23685

I also like the Turbo Dog BBQ Sauce that has Abita Turbo Dog Beer.... (like I needed a reason to buy more Abita beer!). I make this when I need a couple of different flavors for a big event. http://www.smoked-meat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6374

I have also made some of the Apple City BBQ Sauce from the book Peace Love and BBQ by Mike Mills. I cut the apple cider vinegar way way back and made a few other personal tweaks, and it is a darn good sauce or a base to create your own (I also use this for baked beans). Mrs. Engineer also gives this a big thumbs up.

The original Open Pit fits the bill....

Does Maull's fit the bill?

Looked it up, sounds like it may fit the bill - never heard of it before.

I second the Rudy's... I was fortunate enough to get both of the sauces from Dana on our what I am pretty sure was our first Christmas exchange. And the Rudy's is a very good vinegar based sauce. I have not tried the Salt Lick sauce yet, gotta get on it I guess...
