Marinades are flavorful pastes or liquids that are soaked into food for a while before cooking or can be used as a base for sauces and stir fries. This rich and glossy BBQ Sauce marinade will definitely make your meals pop. Rub on your meats and store the rest in the refrigerator to use as dipping sauce.

For very quick and tasty meals, this marinade comes in handy. I always have a jar of it saved in my refrigerator for stir fries, fried rice, sauces,meats, omelettes and of course, as a dipping sauce.

    Thank you for this recipe! I will use glucose syrup rather than maple syrup and then the recipe will be sugar free.

      Hi Jan,

      FYI, glucose syrup is not sugar-free. Glucose is the main sugar that the body uses for energy, etc. The body breaks down sucrose, dextrose, fructose, and other sugars into glucose to be used in metabolic processes. Excess glucose is stored as fat. A person with diabetes takes insulin if their glucose level is too high.
