North Star Grilling Sauce by Heartbreaking Dawns on left. Nothing says the start of summer like Memorial Day, and nothing says Memorial Day quite like BBQ. Though I’ve found homemade Barbeque sauce both easy to make and rewarding to eat, sometimes time or circumstance just doesn’t allow it. Store-bought BBQ sauce to the rescue!

Choose wisely though, or you’ll end up with a gloppy mess of sauce and some unhappy guests. The five sauces I’ve selected below promise to fill all your BBQ sauce needs this season, and might even let you fool people into thinking you made the sauce yourself.
