Level: Easy Total: 30 mins | Prep: 10 mins Cook: 20 mins | Yield: About 2 cups |
Ingredients:
- 1 cup tomato ketchup
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (to add a tangy zing)
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Tabasco Habanero Sauce
- 2 teaspoons jerk seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt to taste
Tools:
- Medium saucepan
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Stove
- Glass jar or bottle for storage
Directions:
- In your medium saucepan, combine all the wet ingredients: ketchup, molasses, apple cider vinegar, and Tabasco Habanero Sauce. Stir them up until they’re all buddy-buddy.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. No rush here—we’re cooking with love and a bit of fire.
- Whisk in the dark brown sugar, and watch as it melts into the saucy pool of future deliciousness.
- Now, it’s time to turn this from a simple sauce to a flavor fiesta. Add your jerk seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground allspice, and ground ginger.
- Stir well to make sure all the flavors are mingling and having a good time.
- Let the sauce simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly and look like it can coat the back of a spoon (or a wing, or a rib, you get the idea).
- Taste your creation and add salt to taste. Remember, we can always add more, but we can’t take it out.
- Once you’re happy with the taste and consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Allow the sauce to cool before transferring it to your glass jar or bottle. This sauce likes to chill out in the fridge and will do so nicely for up to a couple of weeks.
