Making your own sauces can be a game changer for your next cook. I wanted to share some easy to make recipes like this Sweet & Sour BBQ sauce which goes perfect on pork ribs or even chicken.

This sauce is one I use for making Sweet & Sour BBQ Ribs, which are great for a family event or even a work function. Buying cut off ends or pork spare ribs is super adorable.


Other ways to use this sauce:

• meatballs

• chicken legs

• smoked chicken legs

• Sweet & Sour hot dog burnt ends
