DR PEPPER BBQ SAUCE

My family is stationed in Italy with my husband, Lieutenant William Robert Blackman. William grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, and I'm from Texas, so the dish that spells "home" for us is a good ol' barbecue. I have my own recipe for barbecue sauce that we like to pour all over sliced brisket. Eating it reminds us of weekend barbecues with our families. -Tina Blackman, Naples, Italy

Tips:

Use a variety of spices and seasonings: Experiment with different spices and seasonings to create a unique flavor profile for your barbecue sauce. Some popular choices include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Add sweetness with brown sugar or honey: Brown sugar and honey are both great ways to add a touch of sweetness to your barbecue sauce. You can also use molasses or maple syrup, but be sure to use them in moderation so that they don't overpower the other flavors.
Use acidity with vinegar or citrus juice: Vinegar and citrus juice can help to balance out the sweetness of the barbecue sauce and add a bit of tang. You can use apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, lemon juice, or lime juice.
Add a smoky flavor with liquid smoke: Liquid smoke is a great way to add a smoky flavor to your barbecue sauce without having to actually smoke the sauce. You can find liquid smoke at most grocery stores.
Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the barbecue sauce allows the flavors to meld together and develop. Be sure to simmer the sauce over low heat so that it doesn't burn.
