BBQ suace is to thin?

Question

what can i use to thicken it up?

Answer 1

If it is homemade you might try to boil it a little longer, or add some more brown sugar and molasses dry mustard, and vinegar to it and stretch it out thicken it that way

Answer 2

Like everyone else said tomato paste.... It's because you have too much liquid in and need to bulk it up a little.... If you don't have tomato paste try adding ketchup or you can also use cornflour...

If using cornflour place a teaspoon in a cup of a small amount of water and mix it up so it's a liquid before tipping it into the pan making sure it's off the heat, stir in and hopefully it'll thicken up....

Answer 3

A couple of tablespoons of tomato paste and some extra cooking time ought to fix it right up. In my experience, adding molasses actually makes the sauce thinner instead of thicker, and cornstarch leaves it with a kind of nasty gelatinous look and texture.

The tomato paste helps to thicken it, and the extra cooking will reduce it to a thicker consistency, too.

Answer 4

Try adding molasses & brown sugar.

Or use 1T cornstarch & 1T COLD water mix together, heat your sauce and when is is very hot but not to a boil daa the mixture and stir well. As it cools it will thicken.
