DAD'S BARBECUE SAUCE



Dad's Barbecue Sauce image

My father was the cook in the family. Any time we would go out to eat, he would come home and try to make a copy cat version. This is his barbecue sauce. I have never purchased any in the store because none of it comes close to this flavor. Don't let the long list of ingredients scare you. They are standard pantry items. It's easy to double the ingredients so you will have some always on tap!

DAD'S BBQ SAUCE

This sauce was my departed FIL's. He was quite proud of his smoked pork. It was a day long process cooking the meat while this sauce simmered inside. He would shred the pork, place on a burger bun, drizzle with this sauce, plop on some coleslaw (Mayo base) put the lid on the bun, then wait for the compliments. They were never in short supply!

FATHER'S DAY BBQ SAUCE



Father's Day BBQ Sauce image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Holiday Planning & Ideas     Father's Day

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 Spanish onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (28-ounces) crushed tomatoes
1 canned chipotle chile, packed in adobo sauce, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in tomatoes, chile, Worcestershire, vinegar, molasses, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium-low heat until reduced by a fourth, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes.
  • Working in batches, purée sauce in a blender. Season with salt and black pepper. Refrigerate in a jar up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Vine-ripened tomatoes offer the best flavor for BBQ sauce. If fresh tomatoes are unavailable, use high-quality canned tomatoes.
  • Roast your vegetables: Roasting vegetables like onions, peppers, and garlic enhances their natural sweetness and adds depth of flavor to the sauce.
  • Use a variety of spices: Experiment with different spices like chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper to create a unique flavor profile.
  • Balance the flavors: BBQ sauce should have a balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. Use brown sugar or honey to add sweetness, vinegar or lemon juice for sourness, and salt and pepper for savory.
  • Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. For a thicker sauce, simmer for longer over low heat.
  • Taste and adjust: Always taste the sauce as you're making it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. A good BBQ sauce should have a well-rounded flavor that complements your grilled meats.
  • Store properly: BBQ sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze the sauce in freezer-safe containers for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Creating a delicious BBQ sauce at home is a rewarding experience that allows you to customize the flavor to your liking. With careful selection of ingredients, proper cooking techniques, and a bit of experimentation, you can create a unique and flavorful sauce that will elevate your grilled dishes to the next level. Whether you prefer a classic tomato-based sauce, a smoky chipotle sauce, or a tangy mustard-based sauce, the possibilities are endless. So fire up your grill, gather your ingredients, and let's get saucy!
