    It makes a lovely bbq sauce is you boil it with coca cola
    One can and 5 tablespoons of ketchup - use it as a sauce with ribs, prawns, sausages or mixed veg. Yummy!

    here's my own BBQ sauce recipe and a spare rib marinade one. They've been tried and tested. You could add a litlle cayanne to the bbq sauce if you find its not hot enough
    bbq sauce-

    ketchup 6
    apple juice 3
    mustard 1/4
    onion powder 1/2
    garlic powder 1/2
    brown sugar 1 1/2
    smoked praprika 1
    salt 1
    white pepper 1/4
    beef gravey granules 1/2

    simmer for 20 mins, add some 'Doves farm xanthan gum' from Tescos to thicken it up and help preserve it. Let it cool down before tasting it, it will taste better.
    spare rib marinade-

    ketchup 6
    brown sugar 2
    ginger/garlic paste 3
    chinese 5 spice 1/2

    simmer for 20 mins, add some 'Doves farm xanthan gum' from Tescos to thicken it up and help preserve it. Freeze it.

    Just curious as to how you could buy 4.5 litres of ketchup by mistake? :D

    I like long stories!

    Lol! Well its not that long actually just rather boring and stupid ;) I made an approved foods order, there was no photo or i would have realized. And i was very tired having been up with baby all night. I read, 4.5 litres of tomato sauce, as in, pasta sauce! At 1.49, that was (or wouldve been if it was indeed tomatoe pasta sauce!) cheaper than value chopped tomatoes that i usually buy to make tomato sauce. So i thought great! :T Then it arrived in the most giant tomato ketchup bottle i have ever seen, Doh! :rotfl:

    Sauce ideas are brilliant! Thankyou all. I love BBQ sauce so may make a batch and freeze it in portions. Thankyou! :D Anymore recipes, keep posting please!

    I mix it with mayo for chip butty sauce.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.
