Du vet den Jack Daniels-glazen du får på burgaren eller spareribsene på restauranger? Jag ska ärligt erkänna att jag inte är världens största fan av alla kedjor, men den BBQ-såsen därimot - DEN kunde jag köpt på 10-liters kanner! Nu ska jag vara ganska vågad och påstå att jag har knäckt koden, och inte nog med det... Jag tycker faktiskt att jag har gjort en BBQ-sås som är ännu bättre.
Varför göra egen BBQ-sås?
A good BBQ needs a good BBQ Sauce - seems pretty obvious, right? The stuff you get in the stores is sometimes pretty lame ;) Often too sweet or in general not well balanced in flavors. If you do your own BBQ Sauce, you can forget about all of that. You are your own sauce master! Make it spicy, make it smokey, make it boozy! It is all up to you!
Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce is all about balance, flavor, and texture. Whip up a double batch of this smoky BBQ sauce recipe, because you’ll want to slather it on everything. It also makes a great dipping sauce! The simple ingredients create a special flavor that meat lovers will enjoy - and this is a staple to have on the menu for our annual summer BBQs.

Den är söt, full av smak och med ett litet sting på slutet. This sauce here is a good base you can work with! I tested it several times already - mine is spicy, smokey boozy - the way I like it ;) If you are into that - make it as described. If you want to skip the booze… it’s sad, but absolutely fine :)

Steg-för-steg - så gör du
- Add all ingredients to a saucepan and let boil over medium heat until the sauce is reduced to 1/3 of the original amount - this takes about 30 minutes.
- In a large sauce pan over medium heat combine all ingredients. Whisk to combine well. Bring to a boil.
- Since this is a homemade sauce, you should use it within about two weeks - keep it in the fridge. The sauce also works fine to marinate meat.
There are a couple of ways to thicken homemade BBQ sauce! The easiest way is to simmer, thicken, and reduce for a longer period of time in the pan. You can mix equal amounts of cornstarch and water to make a slurry, then whisk it right into the pan. Repeat as needed until the thickness is to your liking.
Tips för variation och förbättring
- If you’re not into spicy, use less chili powder or cayenne pepper - all up to you.
- You can also use any local Tennessee whiskey as your secret ingredient - so have fun with the creative process.
- Sugar - I like to use granulated sugar because it reduces easily and doesn’t affect the overall flavor too much. But, you have plenty of room for creativity with sweeteners! Brown sugar, honey, or your sugar-free sweetener of choice will fit right in.
- Molasses - You want unsulfured molasses, which means it’s free of additives.
- Worcestershire - Sour and sweet! It’s how we get that nice acidic tang. For a substitute to worcestershire sauce, whip up a combo of ketchup, soy sauce, and vinegar. Add a bit of white or brown sugar to taste.
- Jack Daniel’s Whiskey - No room for swapping this guy out! It’s how we get that iconic rich, sweet, and smoky flavor. If du föredrar alkoholfritt kan du dock utesluta whiskeyn.

Smakar såsen av whiskey?
The whiskey makes it smoky and smooth, while the sugar and molasses add just enough sweetness to tone down the tangy Worcestershire. While the sauce boils and simmers in the pan, the alcohol cooks off. This leaves the rich whiskey flavor behind without the boozy side effects!
Hur länge håller såsen?
Sauces always last longer and retain their flavor best when refrigerated. I recommend getting some squeeze bottles for easy use time and time again. Since this is a homemade sauce, you should use it within about two weeks - keep it in the fridge.
