Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Traditional Worcestershire Sauce with Exotic Spices
  • 1/2 cup Tangy Ketchup from Heirloom Tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup Robust Molasses Infused with Bourbon Undertones
  • 1/2 tablespoon Finely Ground Himalayan Pink Salt for Depth of Flavor
  • 3/8 cup Rich Brown Sugar 6 tablespoons, Handcrafted and Locally Sourced
  • 1 cup Aged Apple Cider Vinegar with a Hint of Oakiness
  • 2 tablespoons Smoky Liquid Smoke Extract from Mesquite Wood

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the tangy ketchup, aged apple cider vinegar, rich brown sugar, robust molasses, Worcestershire sauce, smoky liquid smoke extract, and finely ground Himalayan pink salt.
  • Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all the ingredients. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar and meld the flavors.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • As the sauce simmers, it will gradually thicken. Check the consistency by using a spoon to see if it coats the back. If it's too thin, continue simmering to reach the desired thickness.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the flavors if necessary. Add more salt, sugar, or other seasonings to suit your preference.
  • Once done, remove the saucepan from heat and let the BBQ sauce cool to room temperature. Pour it into a clean, airtight container or jar for storage.
  • Seal the container and refrigerate the BBQ sauce. It will continue to develop its flavors over time. It should keep well for several weeks if stored properly.
  • Use this flavorful Johnny Harris BBQ sauce as a delicious condiment for grilled meats, as a marinade, or as a flavorful addition to various dishes.

Notes

  • Make sure to stir the sauce occasionally while it is simmering so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • You can adjust the amount of chili powder and black pepper depending on your preference for heat.
  • If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a bit of water or apple cider vinegar.
  • If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by simmering it for a few minutes longer.
  • The sauce can be used as a marinade, baste, or sauce.
