Slow Cooker Barbecue Sauce
I’m just going to say it again: if you’re not putting this on everything you eat, you are not living!
Like, seriously! My Homemade Slow Cooker Barbecue Sauce is that good! Lincoln and I made a big batch of the BBQ Sauce for holiday gifts. It’s so easy just throw everything in the slow cooker and let time and the slow cooker do all the work.
Do you barbecue? Do you bbq just during the Summer or all year? We barbecue, grill, smoke, whatever term you use for it, all year. It’s one of the activities all four of us get involved in. A lot of our friends grill all year as well. I had a ‘light bulb’ moment and thought about making this Slow Cooker Barbecue Sauce as gifts. It was kind of a win-win for me. I got to spend time with Lincoln, and we made homemade gifts for our friends!
So. If you decide to make the BBQ Sauce and decide you like it so much you can’t give it away, that’s totally find too! Enjoy and consider it my gift to you! 🙂

The longer you let it simmer the thicker the sauce will get. I like a thick bbq sauce.

When you called for Apple cider does it mean Apple cider “vinegar”or the stuff you drink?
Ann, I have used both, but most of the time I use vinegar. Thanks for asking, I’m going to clarify that in the recipe.
