Recipes | Guinness BBQ Sauce

Matt is a fan of Guinness, so when I came across this recipe from The Black Peppercorn, I thought it'd make a great advent gift. It's really simple to make and I tired it on ribs and it was delicious! 

Guinness BBQ Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 onions, minced
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1 cup Guinness beer
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp cayenne 
• 1 cup (8 oz can) tomato paste

Directions:

Melt the butter in a pot. 

Add the onion and garlic and saute until they are tender and beginning to caramelize.

Add the molasses, beer, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cayenne. 

Bring to a boil. Continue to cook at a low-rolling boil for about 10 minutes. Make sure to stir often so nothing sticks and burns to the bottom of the pot. 

Add the tomato paste. 

Reduce the heat and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring often. 

Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. 

Use a blender or hand blender to puree until smooth.
