DAN’S HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE
In honor of National Barbecue Month, I thought it only appropriate to include an old family recipe. This is one my husband came up with years ago. It’s got a nice kick and a great depth of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon liquid Barbecue Smoke®
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground allspice
24 ounces ketchup
2-3 chipotle peppers (from can)
1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from same can as above)
PREPARATION
Combine everything in a saucepan, except ketchup, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce. Heat and stir until all ingredients dissolve together — about five minutes. Add ketchup, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
(NOTES: Keep an eye on it because it can splatter. If it’s too spicy, use fewer chipotles.)
