Homemade sauce is flavorful and nutritious.
BBQ sauce is a perfect addition to almost any type of meat. You can find BBQ sauce in a large variety of flavors in a grocery store, but they often contain unnatural preservatives and unhealthy ingredients. For this reason, many people choose to make their own BBQ sauce from scratch. Once the sauce is made, it must be stored in a sealed bottle for later use. When properly bottled and sealed, BBQ sauce can last up to a year.
Instructions
1. Wash the bottles in a dishwasher on the sanitize setting. If you do not have a dishwasher, wash the bottles in very hot water. Let the bottles air dry.
2. Fill the bottles with the BBQ sauce. Try to leave only ¼ inch of space between the sauce and the top of the bottle.
3. Screw the lids on the bottles as tightly as possible.
4. Fill a canner or large pot with water. The level of water needs to be at least 1 inch higher than the bottles.
5. Put the bottles in the water and place the canner or pot on the stove. Turn the heat to high and let the water boil for 10 minutes. Check the water level frequently to ensure it stays at least an inch above the bottles.
6. Remove the bottles once the water cools down. Store them in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
