This all seems to have way too much going on for my liking. I have never ever liked anything marketed as "barbeque" sauce for instance and if this is the sort of thing that goes in to it I can see why. If I am going to make something I might sometimes start with soy sauce for instance, but if I am going to make something with tomatoes I try and start from tomatoes and not tomato ketchup.
Mixing together a bunch of shop bought sauces means you are going to get too many flavours competing and a bunch of things I don't reall want in there. The end result is going to include all manner of unknown spices, herbs and flavourings and even some colourings. This all seems the wrong result if I am making the effort to put something together from scratch. Simple food cooked well just seems what the aim of home cooking should be.
The positive in all this, is that whatever it all tastes like it can't be worse than shop bought BBQ sauce.
I have two fussy kids and have tomato ketchup in the house, but it is for when I am lazy and not for when I am properly cooking.
The ribs look great, obviously.
