A great barbecue sauce recipe and why it is a good sauce to use in barbeque competitions.
This is another one of my favorite barbeque sauces because it’s a sauce that is great for BBQ competitions. You see, most people prefer a sweet BBQ sauce and competition judges are people too! When we first started cooking ribs for competition, this was one of the recipes we developed. You can substitute your favorite bourbon for the Wild Turkey. This sauce gives the ribs a real nice color… and the taste ain’t bad neither! This sauce is excellent to use with the professional rib cooking techniques found in our book, “Competition BBQ Secrets”…
Bourbon barbecue Sauce:
1/4 cup Wild Turkey Bourbon
2 cups ketchup
1 cup Brown sugar
1/2 cup Apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup Pineapple juice
3 teaspoon Molasses
2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon Lemon juice
1 teaspoon Salt
Mix all ingredients and simmer on stove until sauce thickens.
Imagine that you are a barbeque competition judge… tasting the same old barbecue sauce over and over again. The first thing the judges do is look at your ribs and give it a presentation score. Then they pick up a rib and tug on it to see how tender it is. Your rib meat should pull clean from the bone, but not fall off the bone. After that, they take a small bite and taste your ribs. Now what do you think will score higher… the same old barbeque sauce that they already tasted 100 times that morning, or something new that dances on their tongue and surprises them with a unique flavor that they have never tasted before?
Well… I think you know which of the barbecue sauces the judge will score higher – the unique one. The Wild Turkey sauce with apple cider and pineapple flavors. Your family and friends will love a unique BBQ sauce recipe too. KC Masterpiece is a great sauce, but don’t you think they have all tasted that before? Give them what they want… a BBQ sauce with a bold, unique flavor.
I also did a barbecue judge survey not too long ago (results at www.bbqsuccess.com) and one of the questions was “Speaking of sauces, do you prefer… A very sweet tomato based sauce? (4%), a miler combination of sweet and tangy? (25.6%), A milder combination of sweet and spicy? (41.7%), A spicy tomato based sauce? (10.8%), A mustard based sauce? (3.2%), A vinegar, salt, and pepper based sauce? (10%), or Other (4.7%). As you can see, it might help if you are a BBQ competitor to add a little hot sauce or pepper to the above recipe as BBQ judges prefer a sweet and spicy barbeque sauce over all others. If you are not a BBQ competitor and you are just trying to please yourself, your friends, or your family, then it is a good idea to study the results of my survey above too because as I said, BBQ judges are people too.
