Need a sweet and smokey BBQ sauce recipe....?

Question

Does anyone have a recipe to make a sweet and smokey BBQ sauce? Will the sauce be thick like KC Masterpiece or light like A1? Thanks

Answer 1

6 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar

- 1/2 cup cider vinegar

- 1/4 cup molasses

- 1/4 cup honey

- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

- 2 tablespoons dark rum

- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard

- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke

- 1 tablespoon pure chili powder (not a blend)

- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, plus extra if needed

- 2 teaspoons garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon ground allspice

- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

- 4 cups ketchup

- Kosher or sea salt



In large, deep, heavy nonreactive saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, molasses, honey, Worcestershire, rum, mustard, liquid smoke, chili powder, pepper, garlic powder, allspice and cloves. Bring to simmer over medium heat. Cook, uncovered, until all ingredients are dissolved, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Stir in ketchup and bring to boil, stirring well, as ketchup has tendency to spatter. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Reduce heat slightly and gently simmer sauce, uncovered, until dark, thick and richly flavored, about 30 minutes, stirring often. Use right away or transfer to jars, cover, cool to room temperature and refrigerate. Sauce will keep several months. Makes 5 cups.

This has a ton of ingredients, but is awesome. After sauteeing onions and assembling, I transfer to my slow cooker for some slow and easy cooking time!

Barbecue Sauce

1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large onion)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup tomato paste (10 ounces)
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup honey
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
In a large saucepan on low heat, saute the onions and garlic with the vegetable oil for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 30 minutes. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator. Yield: 1½ quarts

This one is a little simpler and more straightforward. Take it easy on the Liquid Smoke--JMHO.

Rajun Cajun BBQ Sauce

1/2 C. Dark Brown Sugar plus 1 Tbsp.
1/2 C. Blended Bourbon
1/2 C. Heinz Ketchup
2 tsp. Liquid Smoke
1 clove garlic mined
1 Tbsp. minced Onion

In a saucepan combine brown sugar, and bourbon. Turn heat to medium and mix well. Add Ketchup and remaining . Stir until all is well blended. Heat through for about 15 - 20 minutes. You want to make sure the alcohol cooks away. You can use this as a basting sauce for BBQ, or you can spoon it over chicken breasts and pop those into a 400-degree oven covered for about 30 minutes.
