My family loved this BBQ sauce! It is better then any store bought sauce and very thick. I did not have Cajun seasoning, but it still turned out great. Don't be apprehensive to do this due to the large of amount of ingredients. It is fairly easy to do, even with 5 hungry kids in the house. :)

WOW!!! I had to add so uch stuff to this to get it to taste to our liking. Double the honey,triple the molasses,tonz more garlic,3 TB. liquid smoke,2 1/2 TB. dry mustard,1TB. onion powder,triple brown sugar,1TB. paprika,3/8 C. red wine vinegar,extra pepper to taste. I did not add the hot stuf cuz we are not in training to be fire eaters. Well it taste pretty good now and I am puting it in the slow cooker with pork chops. Don't think we will be making this again.

I reduced the garlic and butter by half, left out the soy sauce, b/c of allergies, and used worcestershire sauce instead. I added a dollop of spicy brown mustard and 2 Tablespoons of liquid smoke. I let it simmer for an hour. Not too thick but certainly not thin. I was out of hot sauce so I used cayenne instead. I think that I'd like it with the hot sauce even better. I didn't give it a 5 b/c the amount of garlic would have been too much as written.

I modified this recipe to the following form and was very happy with the result. -2 cups ketchup -3 bulbs garlic -1 cup water -2 Tbsp Mezzetta California hot sauce -1/4 cup raw dark blue agave nectar -2 Tbsp blackstrap molasses -2 Tbsp brown sugar -1 tsp Worcestershire sauce -1 tsp soy sauce -1 tsp salt -1/2 tsp each of the following (this makes a working cajun seasoning): -oregano -cayenne -garlic powder -paprika -onion powder -black pepper You throw all ingredients in at once and simmer at med low heat for about an hour. The result is suitably thick as is mentioned elsewhere. -butter and cornstarch unnecessary as mentioned elsewhere. -agave nectar is a great sugar substitute. It's sweeter than sugar, but with a lower glycemic index. -I always up the garlic content from what a recipe says. -Don't need to buy Cajun seasoning if you already have a decently stocked spice cabinet. -The specific hot sauce I used is my personal favorite. Lots of flavor depth with just the right kick. It's available in the Portland, OR area @ QFC or New Seasons

This recipe is amazing!! My whole family loved it. I used it on Chicken and Ribs. I didn't add the butter or the hot sauce and added a little more honey and brown sugar. It is the best BBQ sauce I have ever tasted and I will never buy BBQ sauce again!!

Wow, this was good! I followed others advice and omitted the cornstarch, and only added 2 tbsp butter. Also, added extra brown sugar because I didn't have any molases on hand. This was wonderful. I put it on pork chops, and can't wait to try it on ribs and chicken. My new favorite. Thank you!

Cooking this sauce, I wasn't impressed at all w/the smell or the taste. I ended up adding another tbl of brown sugar because it was sooooo spicy but there wasn't any hint of sweet. I definately wanted a honey flavor(hence searching out the honey in the title of the recipe) but you couldn't taste it even remotely, Unfortunately, the 1/4c used was all I had so I couldn't play w/that amt. I ended up adding 1/4c of grape jelly to sweeten it up a bit. Anyway, followed the rest to perfection, adding the butter(wow-did make a difference in the taste too!) & the cornstarch mix. Poured it over blsl chicken breasts & baked approx. 25 min @ 375, uncovered. They were AMAZING! The flavor was outstanding! Definately not a bbq sauce I would've ever used had it not had honey & I'm sooo glad I tried it! It was way too spicy for the little kids but my older 2, tweens, loved it as much as hubby & I did!

This is an excelent sauce. I loved it. It is equally as good w/o the cajun seasoning for a different taste.
