I goofed a bit as my 1/4 cup was somewhere else, not realizing this I added 2/3 cup molasses and then totally missed the ketchup. Not remembering again I added 1/3 cup steak sauce... forgot the garlic... and had no meat tenderizer ...my ribs had been steamed cooked for 3 hours already so needed to tenderize. .. oh, and used Grey Poupon for the mustard... Still came out great. To taste the molasses was quite strong but once applied, it mellowed out and the ribs were finger licking good! Will make again.

Very good and easy recipe. Did not have a barbecue sauce recipe of my own but I will use this one from now on. Thanks!

With having our own honey bees, I am always on the hunt for recipes using honey. This one is a sure keeper! I served it with grilled chicken, it has a great flavor, will be made often in my kitchen!

Wow this was fantastic. I had people begging for this recipe as I used it for a neighborhood block party. Thank you so much, the recipe was perfect just as written.

My husband and I love KC Masterpiece Honey BBQ and I've been looking for my own recipe. This is really good! This is the first one that we've tried that does not taste like spicy ketchup. In the future, I will work on cutting the sugar down a bit, because this is a LOT of sugar. Thank you for sharing!

Wow, this was great! I've never made my own barbecue sauce and for some reason, my fussy family was very skeptical of me making it instead of using store bought (makes no sense to me either!). I omitted a few things I didn't have or want to buy (molasses, meat tenderizer and ground ginger). Otherwise, stayed as is and wow, everyone was impressed!! It was a total hit!! I will be making this again for sure! I'll probably make it ahead when we go camping so we can grill outside or make barbecue, etc.

made this and used it to baste chicken breasts. It wasn't the sweetness itself that bothered me--I like very, very sweet bbq sauces--but rather a lack of complexity other than that slightly tangy sweetness. I thought either a spiciness or a smokiness would have complemented it beautifully but without either it just tasted rather bland.

Loved it! I did cut the honey a bit and the brown sugar in half. I was out of steak sauce so I doubled the Worcestershire. I add red pepper flakes as others have said. Excellent results, sweet but not too much, a bit spicy...the mustard comes through...It's a keeper for me! I used it on ribs.

This has been my "go to" recipe when I need a sweet, Carolina style BBQ sauce since I first came across it. It is excellent for pork and chicken. Beef...not so much. I modify the original recipe by increasing the the ketchup to 3/4 cup, add 1/4 cup cider vineger to offset some of the sweetness (this sauce is quite sweet), add 1 tsp each of onion and garlic powder to add a little more punch. Also, try substituting buckwheat honey for the molasses and add chili pepper flakes for some kick.
