Sauces Recipe ∞ All-American Barbecue Sauce

I'm very excited to show you my take on America's most popular style of barbecue sauce--which of course originated in and around Kansas City. After you make a batch of this and taste just how incredible it is, I don't think you'll ever buy that stuff from the store again. Sauce may be used right away, but for best results, wrap and refrigerate for a day or two before using to allow the flavors to develop.

All-American Barbecue Sauce
Prep:5m
Ready in:5m
Serving:3 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ketchup
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup dark molasses
  • ½ cup white distilled vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne powder, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

Cooking Directions

  1. Combine ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, paprika, chili powder, cayenne, black pepper, allspice, coriander, and cumin in a mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly.
Try to use good ketchup. I typically go for the corn syrup-free version of America's most popular brand; You can use sweet paprika instead of smoked; Sauce does not need to be cooked if it's going to be used as a glaze for things like barbecued ribs and grilled chicken, but if it's going to be used as a condiment, then bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat and allow to cool before storing in the fridge.
