I watched that one too and I'm sure she made her ribs in 2 stages,marinated them over night, and then made a paste that she spread on them, it was onions, garlic, and lots of other flavourfull things blitzed together in a little blender which she smeared over the marinated ribs.

this recipie doesn't mention any of that????

if you're baking the sauce on you need to cover it with foil until the last 20-30 minutes or it will burn terribly. when bbq'ing (in the states at least) they make sure not to put the sauce on til the last 5-10 minutes because all teh sugar in it makes it prone to burning.

you might try a marinade and then add a sauce to the top

i've had some success in the past making up a bbq sauce of sorts (years ago after moving here from the states, before you could easily find bbq sauce in the supermarket) i mixed together ketchup (you need a sweeter sauce like heinz) cheap brown sauce, garlic granules or garlic powder, bit of mustard powder and some seasonings to taste. if you can find liquid smoke or any other kind of smoke flavouring you can even manage the hickory flavored bbq sauce which are especially nice.

also a lot of bbq use raisins to sweeten them so you can soak raisins in the mixed sauces for a bit then attack it with the stick blender but i find that honey is easier and less messy, though saying that, if you get a sweet ketchup to start with you probably won't need the extra sweetness anyway.

i'm a condiments girl, i love sauces and dips etc and i find that it's actually very very easy to come up with some really tasty sauces, dressings and marinades if you learn to play with stuff and by keeping a resonable stock of spices and herbs in the house. lidl offer very cheap spices if you need to get started that way also most ethnic grocers sell spices very cheaply.

i bet if you do a search online for bbq sauce you'd come up with a slew of recipes that would help guide you towards perhaps a replacement you can make yourself for pennies

Could try:

If you like a rich, thick barbecue sauce on your ribs, then this is the perfect one for you. By using tomato sauce and tomato paste instead of ketchup you get a richer flavor in your barbecue sauce.Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
• 1 6-ounce can tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic crushed
• 4 tablespoons minced onion
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon cayenne
• fresh ground pepper to taste

Preparation:

Cook minced onion and garlic in olive oil until onions turns opaque. Add remaining ingredients, mix thoroughly and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes. Makes about 1 1/2 cups of barbecue sauce.

for an ultra quick and I mean ULTRA quick sweet and sour sauce that i use for leftovers and fresh combined., use one cup of tomato sauce (or whatever measurement you have handy as long as the measurements are titrated as in one spoon to half spoon) to half a cup of worcester sauce and half a cup of sugar. trust me, bung it in a pan and give it 5 mins to reduce, it isnt the best ever, but its tasty and ultra fast, and so quick and simple! 3 ingredients that most of us have, for a make do sweet and sour using leftovers up or fresh, the sauce works!
bit drunk so over enthused with sharing! sorry if its wrong

Alternatively, for a whopping two liters of sauce (adjust quantities accordingly!)

1 L Tomato puree
500 ml Water
150 ml Worcestershire sauce
125 ml Cider vinegar
125 ml Vegetable oil
250 g Onion, chopped fine
20 ml Finely chopped garlic
60 g Sugar
15 ml Dry mustard
10 ml Chili powder
5 ml Black pepper
Salt to taste

Place all ingredients in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer about 20 minutes, until reduced to the appropriate consistency. Stir occasionally during cooking so the sauce does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Adjust seasoning.

I add a spoonful of marmalade to whatever BBQ sauce I use or make. This makes it stick but you won't taste it. (The marmalade I mean)!

Confuzzled, hopefully you can answer this one. I noticed in that first recipe above (and have seen it in other American recipes), the ingredient *tomato sauce* which obviously isn't what we know as tomato sauce, ie ketchup. So what exactly is it?
