sure. the basic blueprint i use for my tangy sauce is-
2 cups cider vinegar
1.5 cups ketchup
1 cup espresso/coffee
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1.5 cups light brown sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp arbol chili powder
1-2 tsp red pepper flakes
the sweet sauce i like to make is something similar to this-
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup ketchup
1.5 cups espresso/coffee
1/2 cup worcestershire sauce
2 cups light brown sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp arbol chili powder
just combine all ingredients in a saucepan/pot and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reduces/thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon fairly well (maybe 20-30 mins?). you may have to taste it and tweak the amounts of the sugar/vinegar a little bit (like, by a couple tablespoons) to get the flavor balance just the way you like it.
and you can vary the ratio of worcestershire sauce/coffee in the sweet sauce, but i dont think it makes a huge difference tbh- my gf is crazy and doesn't like worcestershire so the recipe above reflects that in that it uses a little more/less of each.
i'm really happy with both so far- use them for chicken wings and pork ribs, basically. if you try to make either, report back and let me know what you think. each recipe produces about a quart (32 fl oz) of sauce.
