Barbeque Sauces come in a variety of styles. Some are vinegar based, some are tomato based and others have a combination of different main bases. There is no right or superior sauce type. They can be spicy, sweet, tangy or smoky...you can baste (called mopping) all during the cooking, use as a finishing touch before serving or even as a side to allow everyone to dip or not dip. Here are some of my favorite sauces representing all types.
Feel free to add your own touches... make the sauce YOUR OWN and indulge!

The Emma's Not so Simple Sauce
1/2 pound onion -- chopped
3 cloves garlic -- chopped
10 ounces tomato paste
8 ounces mustard (cheap US type)
4 ounces brown sugar *
3 ounces vinegar *
2 ounces liquid barbecue smoke
6 ounces Worcestershire sauce
4 ounces molasses (treacle) *
salt and pepper to taste -- freshly ground
7 ounces can chipotle pepper in adobo sauce -- blended with wine
3 1/2 ounces red wine -- wash out chipotlehot plate can oil or fat for frying
10 1/2 ounces can beef bouillon - double strength
1 rack pork ribs or any other meat
* These items should be halved if you don't care for sweet food.
Saute the onions and garlic in a little fat, butter or oil in a large skillet (frying pan). Puree them in 1/3 of the beef bouillon and return to skillet. Puree the chipotles with the wine and add to skillet. Wash out the blender with the rest of the bouillon and add it with everything else on the ingredients list to the skillet. Heat, stirring frequently until the sauce reaches simmering temperature. Cut up your rack of ribs and place them in the sauce; spooning it over them. Cover and cook for at least 1 hour at low heat. (I put the skillet on a hot plate to give low even heat.)
Notes:1 If you cook your meat by smoking it you may wish to leave out the liquid smoke.
2 Keep unused sauce in a jar in the refrigerator.
3 This BBQ sauce is even better the second time around - it contains lots of lovely meat drippings.
