BBQ sauces are ten a penny. But this very special aroma composition with maple syrup and apple is definitely not available in the supermarket. The grill sauce tastes wonderfully fruity, has a fine acidity and is not too sweet. Nevertheless, you will love it as a fan of sticky-smoky-sweet barbecue sauces. It shows once again: homemade tastes best. The recipe is super easy to prepare and, despite the special taste, the list of ingredients is really no rocket science.
Only liquid smoke is probably not available in conventional supermarkets. Vegan or grill shops carry the small bottles more often. If necessary, you can also get them online. Instead, you could also use smoked salt for the smoky note. Then please leave out the soy sauce so that the sauce does not become too salty. An investment in liquid smoke is worthwhile in any case, because it should be dosed sparingly and therefore lasts a long time. We like to use the liquid smoke aroma in marinades and sauces.
