thinking of Spring ISO BBQ Sauce

[Adillo303]

I am daydreaming of spring and joy of cooking outdoors.

I am looking for a BBQ Sauce. Southern inspired, uses ketchup (Or Tomato sauce / paste) molasses, mustard, onion, some vinegar, smoky flavor, maybe a back taste of bacon, maybe not.

Anyone have any ideas in that area?

Thank You in advance

Try anything by Sweet Baby Ray. Very good stuff!!

I'm a big fan of Sweet Baby Ray's Keltin. I am looking to home brew. Start out with basic ingredients and tune. I am hoping for a sweet tangy taste, without a lot of sugar. Then a kind of back bang.

I used this recently on my oven BBQ ribs


Bacon - chopped small
Onion - chopped small
2 (6 oz) Tomato paste
Water
Brown sugar
Liquid smoke
Mustard
Ketchup
Ground hot pepper flakes
Cayenne
Molasses
White vinegar
Coffee - to taste - optional
Chocolate powder - optional

In pot cook bacon till crisp. Remove and drain. In bacon fat cook onion till soft. Add tomato paste and enough water to dissolve paste to a thin consistency. Add brown sugar , liquid smoke, mustard, ketchup, hot pepper flakes and molasses to taste. Bring to boil and reduce to a simmer. Add bacon. Taste during simmering and adjust ingredients to your liking. Simmer till it reaches desired thickness and has a nice rich flavor.
Brush on meat while grilling. Use as dip for meats.

Here's one from my website: Oven BBQ Chicken (http://www.mamas-southern-cooking.com/oven-barbecued-chicken.html). You can use the same sauce on the grill.

Hi Peep - The coffee and Chocolate are interesting. Are the tastes discernable or do they blend for a kind of mystery back flavor.

Thank you Mama - Have you tried this with beef? Or pork?

That damn Keltin took the words right outta my mouth! Sweet Baby Ray's!

I've only tried it with chicken but it would be great with beef or pork too.

[Adillo303]

I feel more springlike already.

Yuppers Lee - In my case maybe a bit of JD. Then, I was thinking make up the sauce ahead of time and vary the liquor. Can that work?

[QSis]

Yes, Andy, you just have to simmer it a bit to marry the flavors.

Have fun!

heres how i make my bbq sauce...

follow the ingredient list....bring to a boil on the stove in a sauce pan...then transfer everything to my slow cooker to the "Keep Warm" setting and let it simmer overnight or for at least 14 hours...it will make the most watery sauce simmer down and concentrate to a beautiful pot of goodness..lol

some different ingredients you can add to your BBQ sauce are:

pineapple puree or crushed pineapple - one of SBR's ingredients
cherry pie filling
apple pie filling
coffee
balsamic vinegar
peaches
apricots

the list can go on forever..lol

add to taste you can leave it a mystery by adding a small amount. the more you add the less mystery. LOL i like it to be mild.

I also have a long ingredient sauce recipe that I used from my dad and is really good but tried Baby Ray's and I have to agree w/the above, it is hard to beat. Use it now all the time.

I really liked this one..... made it for a turkey meatloaf....
