"One taste and you'll say, "That's a Good sauce"" is the motto written across the top of the bottle of Marian Davis' Barbeque Sauce and you will probably agree. This is a good barbecue sauce. This is one of these sauces that claims to originate from an old family recipe. A quick look through the ingredient list shows you that this isn't a big corporate sauce, but a family recipe, a blending of household ingredients to make a barbecue sauce that works.
The Backstory
From the label on the bottle of Marian Davis' Barbeque Sauce you would think that this was the creation of some Southern Cowboy character. In fact this sauce is the made and marketed by two women up in Renton, WA. Of course that doesn't make it any less of a barbecue sauce. It does make it a kosher barbecue sauce. These two are a small business looking to make the most of a good barbecue sauce.
What's Inside
When you look through the ingredients on a big companies barbecue sauce label you find a list of basic ingredients, many not found in you pantry. When you look at a homemade barbecue sauce's ingredients you find things like: brown sugar, chili sauce, ketchup, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, soy sauce, A-1 steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, mustard, and pepper. Of course on the label this sauce has to break each one of these down but you get the idea of how Marian Davis' Barbeque Sauce was made.
All Around
This sauce isn't too much of any one flavor so it works well with most anything. It has a thin consistency with an even texture so pouring on your burger like ketchup is a little messy, but mixing it up in some barbecue works perfectly. This sauce is good on beef, pork, and chicken especially good on grilled items. I would recommend it on grilled chicken, but suggest adding it towards the end of the cooking time because this sauce has a high sugar content (25 calories per tablespoon when sugar has 48 calories per tablespoon). Because of the traditional barbecue sauce flavor this sauce can be used on pretty much anything.
