best bbq sauce ever

best bbq sauce ever and i made it. adapted from the Bromberg Brother’s cookbook: Blue Ribbon Cookbook, make it in a slow cooker with the lid ajar. sweet & spicy with no pesky preservatives or high fructose corn syrup. whip up a big batch - it’ll keep in the fridge for 3 months. you can do it! here’s how:

3 cups ketchup (sans HFCS, buy ketchup at whole foods)
1 cup real maple syrup (did you read the word “real”? again, it’s in the bulk section of whole foods)
¾ cup light beer (stella!)
½ cup honey
¼ cup cola (omg, not diet, you fool)
2 teaspoons bottled hot sauce
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 serrano chile, slit a couple times, de~seeded and thrown in whole

 

whisk all ingredients in a slow cooker set to high. put the lid on. when you can see the mixture bubbling around the edges, stir, and adjust slow cooker to low & place lid on crooked so steam will escape. this will allow the bbq sauce to thicken up. stir every 30 minutes, slow cook for 4-6 hours. it will thicken and darken. the best bbq sauce you’ll ever eat...

wow, sounds good. Cola as a BBQ sauce ingredient is a new one on me. We didn't make it that way at Stubby's!
