Dean Fountain
If the kids make it - this is "The Best Homemade BBQ Sauce Ever!"

 

This will take less than an hour, its pretty easy and the kids can be involved all the way to the end to the washing of spoons and cups!  Literally chuck all the ingredients into a pan (the kids will love the excitement of making a concoction and a mess - then the adult can watch over the kids and let the sauce simmer for 45 mins.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

 

This is a sweet and spicy bbq sauce! If you want to increase the spice and less sweet just reduce the sugar and increase the horopito or cayenne.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups tomato sauce - The cheap stuff is fine
