Barbecue sauce trials

[serenecooking]

I liked the barbecue sauce a lot. someotherguy said the consistency needs a little work, but everyone seemed to like it a lot. I think it needs to be a little thicker. (He joked that I should put high-fructose cornstarch in it, because one of the reasons I make my own is that my favorite commercial brands have high-fructose corn syrup as their first ingredients.) I also want to add some kick to it -- maybe some cayenne and/or chili powder. someotherguy suggested more paprika. Next trial will probably be next weekend. I know y'all are on pins and needles. ;-)

I *like* thin barbecue sauces. There's less of a tendency for bitter, black char.

Have you considered some smoked sweet Spanish paprika?

There was a teaspoon of smoked Spanish paprika in this batch. Any more smokiness would, I think, be too much for me (this made about a quart of sauce). I'm not a big fan of very smoky foods.

Ah, gotcha. Then I'd go with some cayenne.

Keep me posted!
