Molasses BBQ Sauce Recipe
I don't know about you, but I love sauces, and a good BBQ sauce is so versatile it can be used in all kinds of dishes. And while there are a lot of great BBQ sauces out there, this homemade BBQ sauce recipe is one of the best I've ever had. I like to make a big batch of BBQ sauce, put it in small jars and then keep in in the freezer until I need it. Whenever I need some delicious BBQ sauce, say to lather on ribs or on top of a BBQ salad, I just pop it in the fridge to thaw for a few hours and its ready to use. It'll keep in the freezer for up to six months and keeps in the fridge for several weeks.
Ingredients
1 yellow onion, cut into 4ths
3 large garlic cloves
1, 64oz bottle ketchup
1 cup molasses
¾ cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons each, salt, smoked paprika and chili powder
1 Tablespoon mustard
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup Woodinville Whiskey (or another fine whiskey)
Instructions
Place the garlic and onion in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and blend until a puree like consistency.
Add remaining ingredients and blend until all the ingredients are incorporated.
Pour into a large pot and cook for 20 minutes on medium, stirring frequently.
