I want to start making my own condiments at home to save money. Can you give me an easy barbecue sauce recipe?

Of course! Here’s a simple recipe that’s really easy to make at home.  It’s a tomato-based barbecue sauce, and it has fresh garlic and black pepper, and some optional ingredients like vinegar and apple cider.  I’d recommend trying this out at least once with store-bought barbecue sauce to see if it’s similar enough to what you’re looking for.

4 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon water
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Optional additional ingredients:
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons apple cider

Directions:
Add the ingredients and stir to combine.  Refrigerate for two to three hours to let flavors come together, then re-blend before using.
