This recipe is not only delicious, but cooks in 5 minutes! You just toss all ingredients in a pot and boil for 5 minutes. Done! (Don’t be daunted by the number of ingredients – half of them are spices.)

Before making a larger batch of this barbecue sauce, I recommend trying it first to be sure you like it. Then, if it pleases you, you can increase the amount. Since I don’t use barbecue sauce all that often, I quadruple the recipe and freeze it in portions.

BARBECUE SAUCE – makes about 250mls / 1 cup

• 188g (1/2 cup + 2T) ketchup
• 89g (1/2 cup, packed) dark brown sugar

• 25g (2T) pineapple juice
• 25g (2T) water
• 8g (1/2T) vegetarian Worchestershire sauce
• 1.25 tsp ground mustard
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp cayenne powder
• 3/4 tsp Kosher salt (or, 1/4 tsp table salt)
• 1/4 tsp white pepper

Into a saucepan, put all the above ingredients.

Bring to a boil. Maintain a low boil, stirring often, for 5 minutes. That’s it!
