SWEET BABY RAY'S BARBECUE SAUCE (COPYCAT)



Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce (Copycat) image

A copycat of the famous Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce. In my experience there is little to no need for the cornstarch slurry, but it's there as an optional step in case you want your sauce thick. Personally I just use a little of the slurry because the 10-15 minutes simmering time would already reduce the sauce and it would continue to thicken while cooling.

I was recently asked by someone if I had a recipe for a clone of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. He was unable to find it locally. I haven't made/tried it, but it looks like it might be close. Not sure if it'll give the same dark color as the original. Also included here is a Rub recipe this is supposed to be secret...Hmmmmm? Haven't made it either, but ingredients look right.
