flavor. I like a little kick of vinegar but DH does not. I grew up in NC husband in VA. So, we need a mild sauce that will suit us both. Any ideas? Do not want a bottle sauce.

Thanks!

 
This are a couple of my favorite recipes REC: Alice's BBQ Sauce and Pineapple BBQ Sauce

I hesitated to post them because of the vinegar and the heat, but you could cut back on those to taste, since you probably won't be canning these.
Using the dried onions gives it a certain flavor that fresh ones just don't have.

Julie - I have some for you...

That sounds like a good idea, though, to tweak the hot peach grilling sauce... let me know how that works.

Here are 2 I have tried and liked a lot - the first one is my favorite and what I usually do for bbq. The last one I haven't tried yet, but it sounds good:

2 tbl cornstarch
2 tsp dry mustard
2/3 cup cider vinegar
8.5 oz crushed, drained pineapple
1/2 cup catsup
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tbl. soy sauce

Mix all together in a small saucepan and heat through until onion is translucent.

Cheezz, I've used this sauce, I have all the sauces from this article and this was a favorite. I'd

like to thank you for reminding me to use it again.

Oops, I'm referring to the "ole' Virginny" sauce.
