Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce

Barbecue Sauce. I buy it in a jar or a squeeze bottle. Don't you? That is just how I do it, but I recently pinned a recipe for a homemade barbecue sauce, because it really got my attention.

Fast forward one month. We are prepping for my dad's retirement party. We are serving shredded turkey sandwiches, but we (I) wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary, and jazz things up a bit. After getting some southern inspiration from my blogging friend Mandy, over at South Your Mouth, I knew what I wanted to do. A variety of sauces for people to top their turkey with. I definitely was going to go with home made, as I wanted these sauces to be original and like nothing every one had already picked up in the grocery store. 

 

First up, the barbecue sauce I had pinned. O.M.G. This sauce was so good! I will always have this on hand! The ingredients were pantry staples, so no extra trips to the store.

I am still lovin' the turkey leftovers. Heat 'em up. Grab the squeeze bottle of barbecue.  Sauce it up.  You're ready!  

Try this. You will thank me. Trust me!!
