Easy Vinegar BBQ Sauce
This is a BBQ sauce recipe that I threw together in a hurry when I was low on ingredients and low on time. And while I wouldn't say I was "surprised" that it was good, it far exceeded my expectations.
I initially made this to use on some grilled BBQ chicken, and that's still where I use this the most. But, it's also an excellent sauce for pork ribs or pulled pork.
The taste of this sauce is great, but I think the number one reason I keep making it, is that there's simply not an easier recipe out there.
A lot of good sauces start with sauteing onion until they're very soft. But who has time for that! Kidding, sort of.
I do make another BBQ sauce that starts that way too, but for a really high-acid, vinegar-based sauce like this, I don't think you'll miss the onion.
So throw everything in a pot, all at once, heat, stir, and you're done.
