Time to kick off Father’s day week! I hope you remembered it’s Father’s Day this weekend?!? It’s not too late to make, or buy, something for the father in your life. The girls and I put our heads together and came up with a few fun ideas and this one involves one of our favourite barbecue recipes.homemade father's day bbq sauce with title

Today is all about the BBQ. We always enjoy making our own sauces and marinades…which lead me to think that making our own BBQ sauce for my husband would make him a happy dad! Here’s what we did.

Father’s Day BBQ Sauce

1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
4 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp dry mustard
1 tsp red pepper flakes
3 tbsp packed brown sugar
2 cups ketchup
1/3 cup worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 tbsp molasses
1/4 tsp black pepper

Hot Tip: use a glass 4 cup measuring bowl to mix ingredients in. Hot Tip 2: To keep your molasses from sticking to the measuring spoon, use the same spoon, without rinsing, as the spoon used for the olive oil

Finally, add the ketchup mixture to the pot and bring to a boil…simmer until sauce thickens…approx. 10 minutes.

You can use the barbecue sauce immediately and keep it for one month in the refrigerator, or you may want to properly can the sauce.
 
If you’d like to properly can your Father’s Day barbecue sauce, I love this incredibly helpful preserving book The Complete Book of Pickling by Jennifer MacKenzie. We did can our sauce and the recipe yielded 2 x 8 oz mason jars worth of sauce (about 3 cups of sauce).

Create your own label for the BBQ sauce. The girls and I designed this label and print it out on our home printer. The girls will do the wrapping…of course. This gift is delicious and thoughtful…and handmade!
