The idea comes from Martha Stewart. There are so many variations to the bbq sauce theme and this one quickly became my favorite.

  • Looking at the color of the sauce, I thought it might be peach or apricot bbq sauce. Fruit bbq sauce I get sometimes, but nothing beats a great savory bbq sauce, glad to see it’s not all fruited up.

  • Thanks Tamara for this bbq sauce! I love bbqs too, but I’ne never tried to make homemade sauces because I was afraid they were too complicated to prepare. I’ve never used store bought sauces either, because I can’t stand their fake taste. This sauce instead is so easy and quick to make!!! I’d love to try it next time I grill! :)
