Almost Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce: 4 cups ketchup 3 cups brown sugar 1 ½ cups molasses 1 cup apple cider vinegar ¾ cup water 3 TBSP Worcestershire sauce 4 TBSP ground mustard 3 TSBP smoked paprika 2 tsp granulated garlic 2 tsp chili powder (or can use cayenne if spicy is desired) 2 TSBP pickling/canning salt 1 TBSP black pepper Cook over medium while stirring ingredients well. This sauce is thinner than Baby Ray’s but if you want it thicker, you can add cornstarch slurry when you open the jar to use. May need a whisk to incorporate ingredients. Bring to a light boil. Yields 5 1/2 pints. Pressure can process method only.

I rewatced this because I needed to make more BBQ sauce. It's bittersweet hearing Matt's voice. Be well sweet lady and know your crew loves you. 💓

God bless The Kneady Homesteader.

My hubby likes to watch canning videos with me. He laughs at the banter between you too. Forget the haters! You guys are adorable and Matt sounds so supportive and encouraging.

Sweet baby rays is $7 a small bottle here in Australia, so thanks heaps for the recipe. 👍

my family asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said oh plz a water bath canner lol. Going to try the jelly and pickles first. Matt can help and chime in whenever he wants. We also enjoy the whole family. Love the laughter he gives you.

Hello Heather, I'm thinking of you, and the children, many strides you are making to come back home, you are amazing.

I canned your barbecue sauce last year, and am just now opening it for the first time ( used up all my hoard of store bought I already had). It is absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing that recipe! It's a keeper!!

Finally got my All American! I’ll be running a test session today so I can get to canning! I’ve loved watching your videos, but have only been water bath canning the last couple years. Can’t wait to pressure can along side a “canning queen” while watching your amazing recipes. You and Linda make it so easy to follow. 😘😘 thanks for all the inspiration! 😍😍😍😍

This looks really good. Thanks for sharing, Heather. Prayers for healing for you and your family. 🙏🙏🙏💖

I really love your videos… Very detailed with all the directions and everything… It really helps someone like myself who is visually impaired… I'm blind and I love to cook but of course some videos don't give descriptive details on the cooking and I really appreciate your views and your family adventures and your new addition of your new baby

We love you Heather...Praying so hard for you & your babies 🙏🥰🙏

One of my most favorite recipes. Thank you so much for the video. I love you cooking and canning videos. I also appreciate the written out recipes so I can totally focus on your videos. Great job!!!!

Your Sauce looks beautiful and sounds so yummy Heather. Thank you for sharing it with us. You all stay safe and well. God Bless Y'all.

I made 2 batches of this before Christmas- the kids and grandkids took a jar home each (along with jelly). When I got down to one jar left in the pantry, I made another double batch. It is sooooo good!!

It looks wonderful. Your husband is so sweet. What an blessings to have such a awesome companion by your side. Blessings to you and yours

Awhhh always such nice videos. As I said before I’ve been watching you for years so my heart goes out to you and praying for you during this difficult time. ❤️

I love how you said worcestershire sauce! I say it the exact same way! Thank you for your canning videos, you have been really inspiring and helpful.

Heather, wanted to let you know I made this last week & hubby loved it so much I just made 10 more pints yesterday! Thank you so much for sharing this. I'll never buy from the store again. This sauce is amazing!! Hugs from Virginia ❤

Praying you and your family up, sweet Heather! :)

I made this today and it’s delicious!! I used red pepper flakes instead of chilli powder. I like a thicker sauce so omitted the water. I know I will be making another batch before the end of summer. One tip, always use a 1” head space when pressure canning to prevent too much siphoning. Use a 1/2” head space for water bath canning. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

I cant wait to make this. I've been watching the jelly videos and made four different kinds in the last two days. You are a great teacher. Thank you. And tell Matt he can chime in and talk all he wants. We enjoy your whole family. Donna in Michigan

I don’t even buy Sweet Baby Rays anymore! This is the best!

Oh my that looks so good!! I will be making this in the near future. I love to can things like this during the winter months when there are no fresh veggies or fruits. Thanks for sharing!

"Siphoning"is the term for when liquids purge from jars while processing. I've made this recipe and it really is a good sauce.

Ooh! That looks soo good! So nice to get some help with canning too!

Lots of love and prayers for your continued recovery and the children and your whole family you are a strong lady

I agree with another poster below. You do make it look so easy! I'm hoping to start canning with a friend next year. She has an interest too and it always makes me braver when someone is with me. We'll be sure to watch your videos again! I want to do potatoes and celery!

I love your vids. And Matt is a joy to see and listen to.I wish I had a hubby to like to help.

I had to watch this one again so I could try it. Best BBQ sauce I've ever had. I started with a single batch and then tasted it and changed it to a double. Definitely a keeper. Thank you!!

Love the hubby comments. He sounds adorable.

I have fallen in love with you and hubby ☺I'm a new subby so I'm binge watching all your videos. it was so great to see you have 2 babies ☺

Heather, this looks like a yummy recipe and I'm going to try it. I'm praying for you, sweetie!! Keep taking baby steps. You're gonna make it. You're a strong woman!!!

I love it when Matt in the kitchen with you in groceries haul

you are so sweet This was my first yr pressure canning, I was scared to death but got use to it. You make it look effortless. I have water bathed for years ,my husband invested in a pressure canner and oh well the rest is hx.

I made this a few weeks ago and used it for pulled porkbarbeque everyone liked it thanks for sharing. Also you are in my thoughts and prayer for physical and emotional healing in your grief. Be patient with yourself everyone's journey is different GOD BLESD

OMG!!!! This is amazing I tweaked it a bit, according to what I had on hand & my family, but it was your base I used. YUM!! I'm with you on canning, I LOVE it & prefer pressure canning. As a matter of fact, our temps have cooled down & I'm on a canning marathon. Cleaning out freezer

just love it when your videos pop up in my feed!

Love watching your videos. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

love * the demo, last I used my pressure canner was day before Thanksgiving the hubbs went in the garden pulled the row carrots up. lol I had to do double duty . Ended up filling my All American -- Plus another canner a Presto , did 24 Pints of Carrots. We didn't get a Whole Turkey this year, was just us, WISH I HAD so I could done Turkey soup or broth. I am DEF. GOING TO MAKE YOUR Sauce * Thank You little mamma,and you tell that hubby of your don't sweat the Trolls out there, my hubby helps me Cann all the time. THIS IS AFTER ALL A FAMILY* video we are watching, LOVE * YOU ALL.

Great video, I'm going to make this, I live in Australia and the only way to learn canning here is from FB and utube, I love PC, it's really not known here though, I love your channel and your such a happy gal xx

Heather thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I can't wait to try this!

Absolutely amazing!!! We are gonna try this too!

Heather, I love all your videos, but I can’t find the printable copy of the Almost sweet baby rays bbq sauce recipe. So I guess I’ll just get to watch you make it all over again, and write down the measurements as you go. Thanks for all that you share with us, your the best! ❤️❤️

I'm not a canner but I like it. I have only canned pepper relish a few years ago. Thinking of you and your family. Watching your videos and learning a lot.

Matt is excited about that sauce! So great Heather!! !!

Love this recipe! I have been watching your channel all day and when we went to store got stuff for a few to can my pressure canner is done and I cannot wait to see my jars with this BBQ sauce!

I just got done making this barbecue sauce. I got 6 pint jars for my pantry . I made one batch yesterday to see if we liked it. Obviously we did. So I tripled the single recipe. Thank you so much for the video.

This looks yummy, will have to try this one for sure.

Thanks for the recipe and the video! Your ring is beautiful btw.

I have just completed making a batch of this following your recipe. I used 1 tsp of cayenne in lieu of the chili powder. Otherwise I followed your recipe exactly and I just wanted to tell you it is amazing!

On my list to make! ♥️ you my friend. Happy Mother’s Day!!❤️🙏❤️🌸🌸🌸

Thank you so much! I’m a total new-bee, getting ready to test my new All-American so I can start canning!

I have to thank you for the inspiration on this recipe. Although I used another site to get how to water bath can it, I followed along on your techniques. I find canning SO much more enjoyable now! Best tips are having the supplies set up and ready...and having the sink ready with soapy water!

I am really excited watching your videos. I really want to start canning.

Sending much love and many prayers.

I'm finally making this. I can't wait to see how it turns out. ❤😊🎉

Oh that sauce sounds and looks delicious. Love this

I feel so bad for you, I just wish this didn't happen but I am really glad you have these videos with his voice and memories ❤

on my gosh!! This is the best bbq sauce! My husband loves it and he is really picky.He wants it cooked into everything we grill. Thank you so much for this video. I have learned so much from you! Thanks again you're awsome!!!!

I've been making this exact BBQ sauce for years. It's delectable.

Love this! Turned out great!

I just canned this bbq sauce tonight. It's so good. I ran out of molasses, but I substituted with maple syrup. Negl it hurt hearing Matt's voice, but I was so happy hearing it too. Thanks for sharing. Until next time.

this is a awsome recipe I added to lg bottles of ketcup and added a little more of the spices and vingar to make 7 pints.....lolve, love, love this recipe thanks so much!!!blessings......

Hi 👋 I made this recipe today had a taste and right away I knew never again will I buy anything else! Thank you for sharing this recipe now I’m going to try your blueberry bbq sauce 😋🙂

The best BBQ sauce....our family favorite! Thank you for sharing!

Girrrrl you stole my heart with this one!!💜😋🥰 Thinking of you & your family...prayers for all.😔🙏🙏

your vid was a great help for my first time canning bbq sauce. thanks

You mentioned the 5 lb. pressure, I use 5 lb. for 10 minutes when I can tomato juice and tomatoes. The amount of pressure will determine how tender something gets. Green beans I do 10 lb. pressure for 20 minutes meat I use 15 lb of pressure depending on what I am using the meat for and how tender I want it sometimes I use 10 lb. for meat. That is why when you water bath can you have to cook for such a long period of time because of no pressure. Love your videos keep them coming

love YOU HEATHER AND PRAYING FOR YOU AND THE KIDS!!!

Thank you for sharing😊😊😊. Going to try and find you videos on the American canner.....

I have watched quite a few of your vidoes in the past few days. I am really impressed and can't wait to try your recipes. I subscribed, of course! Blessings from NC!!

I soooo look forwarding to making this recipe! Thank You 😊

I am so excited to get my new home and make some of this! This would be fantastic on our campfire smoked pulled pork!

Prayers for your healing.

We love and use smoked paprika pretty much every time we make something like sloppy joes.

Thank you so much. My family loves this bbq sause.. we live in Michigan too

I love Baby Rays and I'm totally going to try this.

I made this recipe and my family LOVES it thank you so much Heather

I know this is an older video, but oh gosh when I seen you fill your jars with such little head space I thought oh no she is going to have spillage. I always fill mine below the last ring. I don’t have a fancy space checker like you do. Thank you for the video. I also have a canner like yours great tips. * greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

My kiddo loves loves loves sweet baby rays. He has autism and has very very particular pattern of food. The only way he’ll eat anything new is with SBR! He cannot tell the difference between this and SBR! We would go through a 64oz bottle a week! That’s a lot of BBQ sauce money! Thank you lovely human for sharing this. I know you’ll not see this for a while, and my soul breaks for what you’re going through. You’re on my heart everyday.

I wish I could take your pain away. Praying for you and your family. God bless you, Heather.

Thanks for sharing i love sweet baby rays bbq sauce.

We will have to try this!

we love sweet baby rays bbq sauce in our house. i wish i lived close to ya,to help with the baby mina,and play with mason.

wouldn't this make a fabulous Christmas gift with a set of barbecue utensils or a bbq apron? Now I want to can this up for gifts! I still have a fear of pressure canners so I will water bath can this...I really have to get over it I know. There are so many canning opportunities I am missing out on.

To simply things...4 Tbsp = 1/4 cup (or 4 oz liquid)

Can't wait to try!

I love watching your shows of canning and bread making. I just found you shows I am 72 years old and that sounds silly but I have always worked and never took the time to watch u tube. Thanks

I am so looking forward to trying this...

Praying for you and your dear family .

I love this recipe.

Thanks for the recipe! I can't wit to try it!

Ive had an all american for 40 years this is the first tine ive heard af oilingg the rim. Thats new to me love your videos

I enjoy my quilt making like you do your canning. But as my husband says watch out here comes the canning lol.

I am definitely going to try this. I am not a sweet baby rays fan, but my family loves it. Think i'll double it to start with.. I think 11 pints will fit in my pressure canner. I love a vinegar based sauce. Love to see some recipes on that if you have any.. Keep em coming.

love Baby Rays. I need to try your recipe.

I will give this a try, it is very.similar to a recpie I already have.

I'm going to make your bbq sauce this weekend, it looks awesome. I'm going to water bath can it instead, I looked it up in my ball canning book and water bath is what they recommend with BBQ sauce. This video is eight years old so your little one is probably helping you in the kitchen by now. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Excellent recipe. Just made my second batch
