Sweet BBQ Sauce

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 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
