Hi can anyone recommend a nice sauce for ribs we don't really like anything to hot ?

Thanks

Ollie

Tesco sell Sweet baby rays and Newmans Own BBQ sauces, I can recommend both

If you can get to Costco they have a number of different types. Other than that have a look on smoking meat forum they have loads

I made my own last weekend and even though the ribs weren't that tender, the highlight was the sauce for me.

I know it's for wings, I used it for wings the week before, I really likee it so I used it for my ribs. I don't really like it that hot either, there is 2 tsp of Chilli powder (I used mild) and it really wasn't hot at all.

Worth a try if you can be arsed.

Mr Stubbs sauce which we buy from Costco is one of our favourites.

These are a great base for making your own, which imo is always better. These can be tweaked so you can change them, for example swapping out sugar for infused maple syrup etc

Bookers sell a 'Schwartz' strong and zingy Hickory Smoked BBQ Sauce, which is pretty damn awesome on everything too!

Make your own. It is not difficult. At worst start with Heinz ketchup as a base, but I prefer to make it from scratch. Instead of ketchup, use tomato passata - then add vinegar, sugar, and spices. The last three ingredients are where you make your mark. Choose the right vinegars - apple cider vinegar is nice. Choose the right sugars - typically brown sugar of some sort, but some molasses is also good. You can try other non artificial sweeteners too. Spices - typically some garlic (powdered is good as it is a sauce), onion powder, smoked & sweet paprika, and whatever else takes your fancy. I like to use a bit of tamarind too.

Problem I have is I never write the recipe down, just make it up as I go based on what I have in the pantry. It is always a bit different, but never unpleasant.
