I've had one from trader joes that was good (but you'll have to check the lable; i'm not sure of the ingredients).  I think they have 3 varieties, and we liked one of them well, but not the other one we tried.  (Maybe that's not as helpful as i'd anticipated...)

The only bbq sauce that I can find without HFCS is from trader joes or other "natural" grocery stores. I also love sweet baby rays but the TJ's one isn't bad at all.

I love Sweet Baby Ray's too. I recently bought this one, and it's pretty good. I don't know if it's available in Boston or not. Also, it has sodium benzoate as a preservative -- not sure how you feel about that.

 eta: hm, that link just  goes to the homepage. Anyway, it's Rumboggies Sweet Hickory Bar-B-Que sauce.

My husband always makes his own. It really isn't hard. If you would like the recipe let me know and I will get it for you. It is all good ingredients and pretty simple.

I echo the sentiment on maing your own. It is quite easy and if you double the batch you'll have plenty on hand. It doesn't really go bad.

I wouldn't mind trying the recipe if you're willing to share

I love Bone Suckin' Sauce. But, I also usually mix store bought bbq sauce with other ones and other ingredients - I feel like that gives the best sauce.

Here is my DH's bbq sauce recipe. He is estimating on amounts... as he is an eyeball it kinda chef. 

Homemade BBQ  Sauce

 

In a sauce pan, mix apple cider vinegar and molasses inequal parts?approximately ? cup of each.

Add about a tablespoon each of fresh chopped garlic, ginger,and dried granulated onion.

Bring to a simmer, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add a quarter cup ketchup and turn off heat.

Remove from heat.

Season to taste with salt, pepper, and hot sauce as needed?alot of hot sauce if you are my DH.
