After looking up a multitude of barbeque sauce recipes for inspiration; I decided to sift through the pantry and whip up a sauce with what I had on hand. It was sweet and sticky. Which was great for the drumsticks I made, pictured here, however it would be perfect for ribs or a pork tenderloin.
Simple ingredients pulled right from the pantry to create this dark, sticky sauce.
A rich amber treacle with a wonderful savoury smell. After it mellowed in the refrigerator for a few hours it became more thick and all the flavours came together.
Sweet Barbeque Sauce
----------------------------------------------------
1 cup of golden syrup or honey
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon of the following:
ground cinnamon
ground cumin
ground ginger
oregano
paprika
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 shallot, finely diced
1 clove of garlic, crushed
freshly ground pepper, optional
Place all the ingredients into large bowl. Stir throughly to combine. Once all ingredients are mixed together; cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Notes: If you find 1 cup of golden syrup or honey too sweet then add less. I used 1 cup of golden syrup and found that I could have reduced that to 3/4 cup.
Have a good weekend everyone! - JD
