This Homemade Roasted Strawberry Barbecue Sauce will be the perfect addition to your bbqs full of a rich, smoky and delicious flavour! 
I have a new obsession and its name is Orange is The New Black. I put up a picture of me watching it on Instagram and I got so much support and encouragement from many watchers including a few of my blogger friends (I’m looking at you Joanne and Kayle!) which when you’re 20 minutes in a show means you must identify what the hype is about.
It didn’t take very long into the first episode to love it, and I have been loving it ever since. This including watching it up until 5 minutes before Game of Thrones last night and sacrificing a good seat in our usual viewing party in the living room.
Real obsession.
The thing is, I can’t exactly binge watch it during the day because Mr Jessiker Bakes is at work and I made a pledge in blood made a promise to not watch ahead of him. This means I have to dedicate myself in the daytime to things I’m actually supposed to be doing.
Yawn.
But enough about me, more about this Roasted Strawberry Barbecue Sauce. There’s a local hot wings restaurant that serves strawberry barbecue sauce and I have been really craving it; the sauce, not the wings. And so, roasted strawberry barbecue sauce was born.
I chose to roast the strawberries because it produces a much deeper flavour and immerses much easier into the sauce. When I say that this sauce is delicious I mean BBQ King Mr. Jessiker Bakes gave it a huge thumbs up. It has all the right hints of smokiness, flavour, and spice and the strawberry adds a delicious sweetness to it. It comes together so quickly that you’ll be wondering why you ever bought barbecue sauce from the store. This sauce is ready for use on pretty much anything – or you can do like me and just eat it with a spoon.
Seriously.

Hi, this recipe sounds delicious! !! Could I use honey and maple syrup instead of sugar?
Hi Siobhan,
You probably can but I’ve never used it before! I would just add it to taste.
do you think this can be canned so I can make a big batch at one time?
Hi Sam,
Yes! But please bear in mind that there are no preservatives so it will not last for a long time.
This is the 2md time I’ve made this recipe. I don’t like spicy, so I omit the chili powder, cayenne pepper and hot sauce. I also add 3-4 Tbl to taste of the magic dust instead of two. It always comes out great. Thanks for sharing this recipe. My family loves it!
Hi Tiffany,
I’m so happy to hear this!!! You’re so very welcome and thanks for your feedback!!
I’ve just made this BBQ sauce, using the “Homemade Ketchup” on your website. Just wonderful. I love the Magic Dust. Thanks so much for these recipes. They will become a staple in my kitchenβ€οΈ
Hi Sue,
Yay – I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks so much for sharing that with me and enjoy!! <3
I just made a mini batch of this in anticipation of black bean burgers later and the sauce tastes amazing! I mainly made a small amount because I only had half a cup of ketchup so I guessed a lot of the other measurements but it’s still incredible!
This is THE best barbecue sauce. My husband and kids love to put it on everything. We have mixed it with Mayo and etc to make dips for different things. So good and so versatile
