I'm not sure what I did different but this was far too acid for us. Maybe it was my orange juice. I'll try it again but this time I added a lot more sugar to kill the acid and it tastes okay. After all the great reviews I was expecting more.

I like this sauce; I've used it on chicken and I used it on ribs. Makes a lot and I'm glad it does! I omitted the lemon slices and used bottled lemon juice. Works fine for me!

Excellent recipe...I cut the recipe in half and the molasses and maple syrup in half after that. Added 2 tbsps of Thai chili sauce for the extra kick.

This was really good. I thought maybe a little sweet but my husband loved it. We had it on ribs and on a pulled pork roast. Both were a hit.

I originally tried this out because I was intrigued with the prospect of a BBQ sauce with Real Maple Syrup as a sweetening element. It did make the sauce a bit on the expensive side to make. Well anyway I tried the recipe. It smelled wonderful while it was simmering and tasted great fresh out of the cooking pot. I had a friend over so I bottled up a sample for him... he was practically drinking the stuff out of the bottle. He later tried it as a marinade for some steaks and he said it turned out ok. I used it the following day on ribs that I cooked in a slow cooker over some chopped onions. To be honest I was a bit disappointed... they didn't turn out as well as I thought they would. It was like it was almost too sweet for the meat. It's hard to say, it might have even had something to do with the rub I put on the ribs the day before to season the meat. (I used a Kansas City Rub) Back to the sauce though, I also found that after cooling and refrigeration the sauce also lost most of its zing or tang. If I was to try this again I would probably half the recipe and use the sauce fresh. (The full recipe makes 6 cups) I hope to use the rest of it up as a straight BBQ sauce to put over meat instead of for slow cooking.

This is an excellent base recipe, however it is VERY sweet. I have made it omitting the maple syrup and brown sugar and only using about 1/2 of the molasses that are called for (it's still plenty sweet from the ketchup and OJ). I really like the use of citrus for the acid it gives the sauce and the onion and garlic round out the flavors. I also have found that a tsp of chili powder is a nice addition. thanks, Grampa Dave!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!!! The only thing I changed was using a half a cup of maple syrup because that's all I had. It still turned out amazing!!

Yummy. Husband is a fan of the spicy sauce and thought this was a tad on the sweet side. I added some extra spice to his and left the kids alone. Everyone was pleased with this sauce. Thanks!

Very good bbq sauce. I went a tiny bit heavier on the hot spices. It is also tastier if you let it sit in the refridgerator for a day or two.

This is the best BBQ sauce I've ever tasted! My husband LOVED it, too. He said we never needed to buy it at the store anymore. I didn't have the fresh lemon juice, I used the bottled stuff but couldn't tell a difference...it was still fantastic! I put the rest in an old catup bottle and stored it in the fridge. I'll definately made this one again! Thanks for a terrific recipe!

this is so delicious.I didn't change anything from the recipe, followed the exact instructions. This bbq sauce was a hit. I think the bbq sauce was more popular then the meats. I had make another pot of it for the rest of the bbq meat. It seems hard to make with all these different spices and liquids but its well worth it.

Awesome! I did this sauce with Baby Back Ribs cooked for 2 hours in a stove top smoker (Hickory) and the results were simply amazing. I added about 3 T of Sirichacka...(Mistake) to get some heat...Better to use 1 T Tobasco...however the family didn't notice and now they want me to do Ribs again tonight! I told them that I would do so, but only if they were GOOD to me....WOW.. This is a great recipe, just add something for a little heat to balance he sweetness...I've been doing ribs and smoking meats for years and am always looking for the right sauce....This one is a winner...Please make it as written first...then add heat as you feel neccessary....One great Job Grandpa! Thanks! Paul
