condiment Triple H BBQ Sauce

Hi guys, this morning was browsing through the sauce directory, and I realized that a good BBQ sauce was missing. The one here, I created years back, and is my favorite, not only for BBQ, but I also use it as salad dressing (with just some whipped cream, equal amount of mayo, a few mashed bonnets and a shot of cheap bourbon to refine the taste), for pasta, just name it.

Take a casserol, dump in 10 ounces of ketchup, 10 oz of water (I prefer beer) and half a cup of cheap vinegar. Depending on your taste, you may varie the amounts. No sweat. It will not affect the final taste. Add one minced yellow onion (big) and same amount of garlic, and bring to boil softly.
In a bowl, mix :
8 tbsp of any hot pepper you like (cayenne, ...)
4 tbsp of ground black pepper
1 tbsp of salt, to bring out the taste
optional 2 oz of sugar for the ones that like it sweet
4 tbsp of a super hot sauce such as “Habanero Hot Sauce from Hell” ( I often replace by mashed bonnets)
4 oz of the cheapest mustard you can find
Mix till you get something looking like the grease you scape of the axles of your horse buggy, and dump into the casserol. Let cook till onion, garlic etc are soft and the mass has the right consistency. Let cool and poor in an empty bottle.

Then :hell: ... enjoy this BBQ sauce from Heaven, which is Hotter than Hell (triple H). The taste keeps improving with age.

Storing ... is easy. I keep it in the kitchen cupboard at room temp, and as I make a big batch at once, it sits for up to a year.
 
1 large onion minced and the same amount of garlic :shocked:


!!!!!!!!

WHA?!


1 tbsp. salt and 4 tbsp. black pepper.

Sorry but these measurements are way off. The base is 10 oz. ketchup. Also you say sugar is optional, and only 2 oz. Does not sound like a BBQ sauce to me.
 
the recipe almost sounds like a mop sauce (if you don't let it thicken too much) especially with the amout vinegar or if you thicken it up some would be a "mephis style" glaze.

It won't glaze with no or little sugar though, should have molasses and/or brown sugar and the right amount. I don't know, the recipe looks very strange to me.
 
Hey guys, just give it a try, and trust me, simple accomplishes the most.
This is the base recipe with which I play, and I think is pretty darn good. As I said, I use it with almost everything, and I did not even mention with toast, or as base for sauce with chinese hot pot. You can add some cumin, pretty neat. I've tried fresh cilantro, is too strong I think.
And don't forget, it is you who sets the heat. I like it hot, but from friends that tried to keep up, they do tell me that the next day they got like having a hornet's afterburner up their ass.
The amount of vinegar will not affect the taste, believe me. I have made it without, with half a cup, a full cup. Doesn't change crap. And by the way, personally I dislike too much acid in a hot sauce. I want to taste the chiles, and don't want them pushed in a corner.
The garlic, I love garlic, eat it raw.
The sugar, personal choice.

Play with it and give me some feedback.
 
IMO, the definition of BBQ may be different in France.... ;)

It sounds liek an interestng sauce, btu nto a BBQ sauce by American or Aussie standards.

If you put that sauce over an open flame, it's gonan do bad things.
 
The ingredients all sound good. I think it is the ratio that is in question. As THP alluded to, for a bbq sauce to be used while actually bbqing it needs to have a decent amount of sugar of some kind involved in order to produce carmelization of the meat. And a large onion sized amount of garlic would be a WHOLE LOT of garlic!
 
Wiki is the last place I'd look for BBQ info lol. Hey man at least your recipe is getting attention. If it works for you it's all good. :)
