I have only ever made a tomato sauce for them but want to try something different. Just wondering if anyone has a recipe they use they wouldn't mind sharing? Thank you very much to anyone who replies :)

I use the one that my grandmother used for meat loaf - just double the recipe for meat balls.The original recipe says 1 teasp of coffee but we prefer it with less. 1 chopped onion, ¼ cup water, ½ cup tomato sauce, ¼ cup dry red wine, ¼ cup L&P Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbspns vinegar, ½ teasp instant coffee, ¼ cup brown sugar, 28 grms butter, 2 teasp lemon juice.Saute onions in margarine until golden and add all other ingredients

One absolute key ingredient for BBQ sauce is sugar and lots of it. Not the healthiest thing ever! You can buy little bottles of "smoke" flavouring drops that will give it (a slightly bitter but) appropriately smokey flavour. A base of ketchup, a few herbs and spices - your choice and a little chilli powder. Also, another slightly odd ingredient that I keep in the cupboard only for use in BBQ sauce is 'garlic powder'. It works well in BBQ sauce but I'd never use it for anything else.
