Smoky Mesquite BBQ Sauce
I love to smoke food and many times I add BBQ sauce during or after the meat has been in the smoker. Sometimes I want to be able to have that nice smoky flavor even when I do not use the smoker and that was the reason for me developing this Smoky Mesquite BBQ sauce. Sweet and tangy, this is a fairly standard sauce. But, what sets it apart is that I smoke the sauce for a good 3 hours! I used mesquite wood because I wanted a stronger smoke flavor and mesquite is great for that.
This sauce is amazing on burgers, hot dogs, or grilling almost any meat including chicken, ribs and more! It gives the meat that great smokey taste, making you think that the food has been going through that low and slow smoke.
