Smoky Chile And Coffee Barbecue Sauce Recipes

SMOKY CHILE AND COFFEE BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine espresso and chiles in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, and cook until reduced by a little more than half and chiles are soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add barbecue sauce, and simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool, and refrigerate. (Discard chiles if desired. Leaving chiles in the sauce will add flavor and heat. Remove chiles when desired flavor is achieved. You can also puree them, seeds optional, with the sauce in a blender for the spiciest effect.)

COFFEE BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine ketchup, coffee, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, oil, and cayenne in a medium nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and cool. Transfer to a tightly covered container and store in the refrigerator.

SWEET AND SMOKY BARBEQUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, honey, Worcestershire sauce, rum, mustard, liquid smoke, ground chile, black pepper, garlic powder, and allspice together in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until sauce is smooth and brown sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
• Stir ketchup into sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is dark and thickened, about 30 minutes.
