BBQ

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ketchup

  • 1/2 cup of Hot or Mild Olokoi

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 5 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika

  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • If you want a spicier bbq sauce, add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne or more to taste

Directions

Add everything to a medium sauce pan, put the heat on medium, and stir until all is combined. Drop temp to low and allow to heat through for about 5-8 min. I used this bbq sauce for 2 racks of baby back ribs. To cook the ribs, I seasoned them with some left over pork shoulder rub that I made awhile ago. You can also just use salt and pepper. Baked the ribs at 275 for about 5 hours. Took them out of the oven, smothered them this bbq sauce and then put them on the grill to caramelize the sauce and put a bit of a char on the ribs. SO GOOD!
