The BEST Barbecue Sauce Ever--And It's SO EASY!

[@growandpreserve]

My Brunswick Stew recipe video will post next, so stay tuned!

[@Lalec122]

The Brunswick stew was absolutely fantastic! Having lived in Georgia for 20 years, I can attest that I have seen it with or without butter butter beans and it's just as delicious 🥰

Wow, i like this channel! There's no noisy, lengthy intro, which is a waste of my time. This lady is straight up, no BS, gets to the point without fakeness. All that, and she has a pleasant voice (no upspeak or vocal fry or fake high pitch voice)...and... a great recipe! Subbed. 👍

[@growandpreserve]

Welcome, Roll! So glad to have you here.

[@JudyLaquidara]

This truly is the best BBQ sauce. I multiplied the recipe x 3 and added a bit of cloves to duplicate our favorite sauce and it was spot on. Then I made the recipe x 4 without cloves and will use some of that in the Brunswick Stew tomorrow. Thanks for sharing the sauce recipe.

[@growandpreserve]

Glad you liked it! The cloves sound like a yummy addition. Can't wait for the Brunswick Stew results!

[@KillerSmurfy]

How many cloves did you use for your x3 batch?

[@JudyLaquidara]

@@KillerSmurfy I started with 1/2 tsp. and tasted it, then sprinkled a bit more in several times. I'd recommend starting with less than you think you need and adding more if wanted. I ended up adding almost a full teaspoon but we love cloves.

[@LindaKreutzer-v2d]

I haven't heard this easy recipe! I will try it from a WNYer now living now in Switzerland, AND I am just found liquid smoke to order here. Although I will have to budget for the honey to make this recipe come Spring! 😄 Last week, I made two large stock pots -> cabbage, parsnips, celery, carrots, potatoes, leeks, onions, garlic, my seasonings, and 2 cabbage sausages per pot to cooking in the soup and then scooped the meat to add in the soup. Freezed it. I hope it will last at least for a month. It was thick so I can dilute with water. 😘 from Versoix.

[@tonijohnson7132]

Dearest Carter, I made this sauce last August. Opened my 1st jar last night. IT WAS A HIT! Hubby could have ate it out of the jar. Thanks for sharing. 🎉🎉🎉

[@growandpreserve]

Excellent, Toni! So glad to hear that. Thanks so much for reporting back.

[@Horsein]

I canned 2 batches and I must say this bbq sauce is absolutely wonderful, thank you Carter for sharing this recipe.

[@growandpreserve]

My pleasure! So glad you love it. Thanks so much for letting me know, Horsein!

Sounds great! Keep me posted!

[@paulette885]

Wowzers!! Made a double batch today and even my grandson excited said this is the best one!! I am a happy bunny Carter, thanks for sharing it 😘

Yay, Paulette! So glad you liked it. Thanks so much for reporting back!

[@paulette885]

@@growandpreserve was your sauce a bit thinner after water bathing? Mine seems to be so wondering how to thicken? Or does it get thicker over time in jars? thanks

[@growandpreserve]

@@paulette885 I don't recall noticing anything, Paulette. Give it a few weeks on the shelf, and see what you think.

I just found this video last night! I'm making a quadruple batch, just because you raved over it. I value your taste buds opinion! I'll be canning every bit of it too. Thank you for sharing!

[@growandpreserve]

Ooooh, Patty! The pressure! Just kidding! Complete confidence you will love this one. Keep me posted!

[@MsStormygirl]

I just made some and love it! I did double the batch and added one half teaspoon cayenne pepper. It made it warm and not exactly hot but I am making another batch without! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

I haven't received any notifications that you had new videos up!! I even have the bell clicked or rang or whatever it is called. I am so going to make some of this and tag you in it when I do. I usually just make mine up as needed, but if I can have it on the shelf, I will do that. Thank you!

[@growandpreserve]

How strange about the notifications. I wish I knew how to fix that. I would love for you to try this BBQ sauce. Definitely tag me so I can see your experience with it. It is so yummy! Thanks for being here!

Hi Carter ;-) Another great recipe! Just finished six jars and I just love it. Tangy, just enough sweet and the spicy at the end. Hope you keep your great recipes coming. Thank you.

[@growandpreserve]

Great! Can’t wait to hear what you think!

[@redwolfthunderheart]

Hi Carter, new to your channel. Wow! Thanks for introducing this sauce, and the Brunswick Stew! I was looking to see if I could can brunswick stew and found a few ppl before finding you. Well one was like water, and the other had too many condiments added to it for me. I have a hubby is has become allergic to most foods, including eggs and anything with MSG in it. So I have to be mindful of my ingredients. I had to make the worstershire sauce to make this BBQ sauce recipe! So thanks. I am looking forward to using this on many dishes. Your demeanor is very peaceful. Happy 4th!

[@growandpreserve]

Welcome, red wolf! So glad you made the bbq sauce work for you. Hopefully the Brunswick Stew will as well. Food allergies and intolerances can make simple things so much more difficult, can't they? I can't have any dairy at all. After 7 years away from eggs, I was finally able to reintroduce them successfully, but dairy may always be a no-go. It sounds like you have been able to adjust for him quite well. Happy to have you here!

[@TXJan0057]

Thanks for the recipe I have made one with similar ingredients but didn't have the proper ratios now i will have that info to get it closer to what i am looking for

[@vickikenton5439]

I made a double batch of this bbq sauce last night & cannot wait to use it in Brunswick stew! But I cannot find the presto canner I was gifted a decade ago…so looks like it’s time to invest in an all American. It’s just me and the hubby, and my stove has a microwave above it that keeps me from opening the lid on my Ball water bath canner when it’s pushed back over 2 burners…will I have trouble with height on the all American 21.5 qt? I would like to be able to can quarts even if I have to buy an outdoor propane setup!

[@growandpreserve]

Can't wait for you to try the Brunswick Stew, Vicki! When I use my friend Christine's 21.5 qt AA, I find it pretty tall. We both have to stand on our toes to see into it. At home, I have the 15.5 qt. It will hold 7 quart jars, or 10 reg mouth pints or 8 wide mouth pints. Here's the one I have: amzn.to/3F4Cig0. One other option you may want to consider is the Presto Electric Pressure Canner. I also have this one, and I totally love it. Here's the Amazon link: amzn.to/46mwlHi. It only holds 5 quarts at a time though (or 8 reg mouth pints or 7 wide mouth pints). Here's the review I did on it, if it interests you at all: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6mQmahtr8eNj7M. Hope that helps! Let me know what you decide.

[@trevor5290]

Carter, I've learned to trust your taste buds & want to try this bbq sauce but for baked beans. Do you think that would work? After watching you can beans dry, I'm wondering if just soaking them overnight would be sufficient without over cooking them with 30 mins first? Or dry beans and the sauce? What do you think? I'm not adventurous to experiment and ruin a batch of hard work lol.

[@growandpreserve]

My thoughts...and since I haven't actually done it, I think you still have to classify it as an experiment! I think that flavor wise, the bbq sauce would be good in the baked beans. It will need to be thinned out first though. I also think that you could soak the beans for 12 hours or so before mixing with the sauce. Let me know if you decide to try it.

[@trevor5290]

@@growandpreserve okay thank you - I think I will be able to try it this week. Maybe just do 4 pints and thin down the sauce. I agree with the soak and will measure them into jars then mix in sauce. I'll let you know for sure!

[@Mel-vu9ss]

Hi Carter. I was watching your pantry challenge video and noticed y’all do keto. So I started searching for a video of yours to see if you can with stevia. I’m seeing here you do. What about things like jellies and jams? We don’t do sugar and I don’t make so many recipes for canning due to the high sugar content. I do have the low sugar pectin but still would love to see if stevia or even erythritol is usable. Thanks!!

[@growandpreserve]

Hey, Mel! Happy to have you here! I use Allulose with jams and jellies, along with Pomona's Pectin. It is heat stable and works very well. It has brought jams, jellies and chutneys back into my pantry! amzn.to/3kuyCNr I have several videos using allulose. Here's one that will show you how easily it works. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2LMi3qMrZ1mfJY If I'm doing a recipe that doesn't use pectin or call for brown sugar, I'll often use liquid stevia because it's so easy.

[@Mel-vu9ss]

@@growandpreserve thank you so much. Your the first person who can say yes I’ve done this and it works!! I’m so excited.

[@growandpreserve]

@@Mel-vu9ss You are most welcome. Happy canning!

[@luellscott6268]

Have you ever tried Lakanto? That's what I use on Keto, but I've not canned with it. It's supposed to be the "one" that doesn't make your body react just like it does on sugar. I have made my own Sweetened Condensed Milk with it, but again, never canned it. I'll send them an email. Some have made jam with it, so... I'll let you know what I find out.

[@grannaboo03]

Hello Carter ( did I spell that correctly?) I am a new subscriber. May I ask where did you get the extra tall spice jars? I like that they are uniform in size. Thank you for sharing how to turn this recipe into a shelf stable recipe.

[@growandpreserve]

Welcome, grannaboo! So happy to have you here! I LOVE my spice jars. They are technically juice bottles, but they're perfect for spices. amzn.to/3F3l8jH Carter

[@JadiesJars]

You also have great labels on your spice jars. Do you use a special app/program to create your own labels?

[@jodymcintosh1757]

I’m not sure if you mentioned it, but how long will it last after canning?

[@growandpreserve]

Hey, Jody! The current line of thinking is that nutrition, taste, texture and color are generally maintained for at least a year or two. After that, the product may lose some quality, but remains safe until the seal is broken.

[@kayspitzmueller7544]

I just pulled out of canner! Will it thicken once out of canner?

[@growandpreserve]

Yes, it will thicken as it cools! Can't wait to see what you think. Love that you tried it, Kay!

[@darciminor1137]

In this recipe the molasses is how much for single batch

[@lisaf7688]

🤣That intro👍🏻

[@milleapresmille]

Can we use Monk fruit instead of stevia?

[@growandpreserve]

I tried monk fruit in a few recipes years ago but found that the taste changed with processing.

[@ginettecourchesne8225]

Could you tell me which Ball Book and the page, please.

[@growandpreserve]

This one isn't a Ball recipe. The link to the recipe I used for this one is in the video description box. The one in my pantry that I don't like as much is from the Ball book with all the jars on it.

[@jeanb.5405]

Why would you debuble liquid?

[@growandpreserve]

This one is quite thick, so air pockets can get stuck in the bottom around the edges. No need to debubble more liquidy liquids though.

[@jeanb.5405]

@@growandpreserve OHHHhhhhhh ! LOL I should have realized that. I am about to can some bbq sauce so I am glad I asked. TY.

[@ElaineDSmith]

Have you tried making it Sugar free?

[@growandpreserve]

I haven't, but I would use liquid allulose for a sugar free version. If using powdered allulose, I would dissolve it in the vinegar first to make sure it gets completely dissolved.

[@lifeisgood-victoria796]

There is a pH meter, which I had no idea existed, that is awesome and not too expensive. Just to be on the 'safety' side.

[@growandpreserve]

Yes. I have strips that I primarily use for my kombucha and microgreens. I do use them if I'm questioning a recipe for canning but look out for the canning police on that one! But you are correct, these are tools we can use in our own kitchens where we make the rules!
