I make my own...

[soupyjones]

I am a bit of a freak for making my own rubs and sauces. Now I have this delusion that I can make condiments too. My most recent half disaster was home made mustard. I was wondering what everyone else makes for themselves. Who has a cool home made product I can shamelessly rip off?

I make:
- Most of my own rubs
- All of my BBQ sauces
- Sausage & Sausage spice mixes (fresh & smoked)
- Mustard (Occasionally)
- Mayonnaise (way better than store bought)
- Most of my own meat/soup stocks (Kitchen Basics I can use)
- Gravy & other various sauces
- Taco seasoning

Of course, a lot of it is due to allergies. But that's ok. I eat well!

I used to make most of it....its just easier to buy it.

I make my own:
Rubs
BBQ sauce
And I grow tomatoes int he back yard,then use them to make a ketchup style base for the sauce.It's pretty tasty.

[treedemon]

Just like Big Poppa . I buy most now. A few times a year I make sausage.

I buy all my rubs because it is so easy with BPS! Would love to make my own sauces but I have't tried yet. I just haven't found something I really like yet.

Treedemom I sadly do not have a sure fire sauce recipie that I can share. I have been messing with tomato based sauces for years and they have all been bad. I don't use enough sweet to balance out the other stuff I put in. If you are making a pulled pork a spicy vinegar sauce is easy and really tasty. Just put some vinegar(any kind) in a pot with some sugar(any kind) and some chili flakes. Add whatever spices you like and warm it up a bit. Let it cool and enjoy. I know that is not a great deal of help but for now it is the best I can do.

 

[Big_Jake]

Yeah sorry no giving out my sauce recipe here either.

I usually make my own sauces and rubs but lately the idea of buying pre-done is sounding more and more appealing.

i used to make my own rubs and sauces, but the quality of stuff on BPS site ruined me heh

The nice thing about making your own sauce is when guests ask where did you get this sauce? You can answer why I made it, with a smile.
You just can't put a price on a fantastic home made sauce and the fun of it is tweeking with ingredients to get it just right.

I know exactly what you mean Carter. I turn pens on my lathe and have had people say "you can buy a pen for 79 cents, why do you spend all that time making one". To which I reply " when was the last time you pulled out a 79 cent pen and said "I made this""? It's about living life, not about what you can buy that someone else made..
