COCA-COLA BARBECUE SAUCE



Coca-Cola Barbecue Sauce image

You might not think of Coca-Cola as the base for a barbecue sauce, but in this recipe, the sweetness of the soda helps to enhance the flavor.

Provided by Derrick Riches

Categories     Condiment     Sauce

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups/475 milliliters Coca-Cola (or similar cola)
2 cups/475 milliliters ketchup
1/2 large onion (finely chopped)
1/4 cup/60 milliliters white vinegar
1/4 cup/60 milliliters brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 milliliters chili powder (mild)
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 milliliters salt (use less if preferred)
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 milliliters black pepper (use less if preferred)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, add all of the ingredients. Place it on the stovetop over medium heat and bring the sauce up to a boil. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook the sauce for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes before using. If you are making the sauce ahead, let the sauce cool completely and place it into an airtight plastic container or jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week after preparation. Warm it before using. Discard the sauce if you see any mold forming or it produces an unpleasant odor. Coca-Cola adds more than sugar (in the form of high fructose corn syrup). It has tartness due to phosphoric acid, similar to the tartness of the vinegar that is a basic part of barbecue sauce. The flavorings in Coke are a closely held secret. Certainly, there are essential citrus oils of orange, lime, and lemon. Lab analysis has found the aromas of cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg, and some suspect there is lavender as well. You will also get different results based on the ketchup you use. Most brands also have high fructose corn syrup providing sugar, plus vinegar and spices that include allspice, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. If you use your own homemade ketchup, you will have more control over what goes into your barbecue sauce.
