Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Sauce

Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Sauce
Grilled Veggie Skewers

This is a really simple, basic barbeque sauce. I don't see any need to buy bottled sauce when homemade is so easy to make - and it tastes fantastic. Use as a glaze or dip for veggie burgers, chickenless nuggets, or my favorite, veggie skewers!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 C ketchup
  • 1/2 C apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 C brown sugar
  • 1/4 C agave nectar
  • 2 T tomato paste
  • 1 T chili powder
  • 1 T yellow mustard
  • 1 t onion powder
  • 1 t garlic powder
  • 1/2 t chipotle powder
  • 1/2 t garlic salt
  • 1/2 t coarse ground black pepper
  • habanero or red pepper flakes to taste (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Put all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  2. Let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Enjoy!
