Beer Molasses Barbecue Sauce

March 27, 2015

Lately I've been experimenting a bit more with beer in my cooking. I feel confident cooking with wine, but using beer has always seemed daunting. Maybe because of the bitterness, fizziness from the carbonation, or the fact that I am not sure on how the taste when drinking translates to the taste imparted when cooking. But what better way to find out than to just dive in!? Last weekend I made this BBQ sauce to go on pulled Kalua Pork sandwiches

1 (12 oz.) jar chili sauce
1/2 c. molasses
1/4 c. honey
3/4 c. stout beer (such as Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat)
2 T. Dijon mustard
2 T. chili powder
2 t. soy sauce
2 t. hot sauce
1 1/2 t. freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 T. ketchup
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 t. garlic powder

Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool to room temperature before serving.
