Round 2: DPQ

I've been hankering to make some new sauce lately but the holidays at work have kept me busier than a 3 peckered goat, today I decided to try my hand at making a Dr. Pepper based BBQ sauce to go with the pork roast I bought to make some 'que tomorrow.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups Dr. Pepper (I used Dublin Dr. Pepper)
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh minced onion
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon basil
and 1/2 teaspoon of Crystal brand hot sauce

Pour it all into a blender and set on stir for 2 minutes

Results:

It's a tasty little sauce with a nice tang but no heat, I dipped some honey ham in it and it seemed to compliment the ham nicely. I mainly made this sauce for my mom and sister to eat tomorrow since neither of them care for hot stuff.

Later tonight will be Round 3 where I try my hand at a Big Red and habanero based BBQ sauce :)
 
Round 3: Big Red BBQ Sauce

The recipe is similar to Dr. Pepper except I only used 2 cups of Big Red and added three habs to the mix.

Results:

This is the best sauce I've made so far, it has a good sweet flavor and the perfect amount of heat.
