    This is a delicious on its own basic bbq sauce that you can easily tweak. To experiment, divide it in 4 parts, and add different ingredients to each part. I frequently make this basic sauce and just add a 1/2 cup of chipotle in adobo sauce to it. Yum!

    Ingredients

    • 3 cups ketchup
    • 1/2 cup brewed coffee
    • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
    • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
    • 1/2 cup molasses
    • 1/4 cup yellow mustard (or Dijon)
    • 2 tbs. lemon juice
    • 2 tbs. Worcestershire
    • 2 tbs. hickory flavored liquid smoke
    • 1/2 onion
    • 1 tsp. paprika
    • 2 cloves chopped garlic, or 1 tbs. dry
    • 1 tsp. salt
    • 1 tsp. ground pepper
    • Tabasco to taste
    • Some addition ideas: a floating jalapeno, soy sauce, ginger, peach marmalade, apple juice instead of water, steak sauce, chile powder, bourbon.

    Directions

    1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepot and simmer 30 minutes.
    2. Strain and refrigerate.
    3. Tastes better the next day.

          s that mustard just yellow mustard? Can I use mustard powder? Gosh I have never put coffee in barbecue sauce. It sounds intriguing.

            It's yellow mustard, but you can use Dijon or dry. Not sure how much dry, so taste test, but probably a tbs. or so of Colman's. Others are usually not as hot.
