Beer Molasses Piggie Sauce Recipes

BEER BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Saute the diced onion in the 2 tsp of cooking oil in a saucepan (preferably a deeper one) over medium heat (about 4 mins).
• Once the onion bits soften deglaze with a splash or two of the beer, once the vigorous foaming subsides, add the rest of the beer. Simmer until reduced by half.
• Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the brown sugar, ketchup (or tomato sauce), apple cider vinegar, honey, cumin, garlic powder and black pepper and stir to mix well together. Simmer to reduce. Once the mixture has thickened to your liking, remove from the stove.
• Use an immersion blender to blend the beer barbecue sauce to a smooth consistency or transfer to a food processor (be careful - either allow it to cool down or if still hot, work in batches).
• Taste the finished sauce and season with salt as needed. Transfer to a container. The sauce will keep well refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
