Notes about this recipe

  • jay.moe on August 08, 2022

    The sweet-and-smoky barbecue sauce is extremely sweet, even for a Kansas City sauce. The level of sweetness probably varies depending on the brand of ketchup used since it is the major ingredient in the sauce. Substituting smoked paprika for the liquid smoke and bourbon for the dark rum (two items not stocked in my pantry) probably cut down on the smokiness of the sauce, but overall the sauce is good. The recipe doesn't specify which type of pure chili powder to use. Ancho chili powder doesn't stand up to the sweetness, but adding an equal amount of Chipotle chili powder provides an adequate amount of heat. The sauce is definitely sweet, but tastes good with the additional chili powder. The sweetness hits your taste buds first followed by some tingly heat at the back of your throat, which balances out the sauce.
