Big Bob's Competition Sweet Sauce image

In my years of cooking at barbecue competitions, I've noticed that judges' barbecue taste preferences follow trends. In the 1990s, barbecue coated with semisweet tomato-based sauce or even a vinegar sop mop appealed to the average judge. As the years passed the consistent winners on the circuit were using a very sweet tomato-based sauce. These rich glazes started a new trend in competition, whereby most all competitors started sweetening their sauce. The following recipe is one of my favorite sauces, which I still use in competition as a sweet glaze for pork ribs. This glaze falls in line with the "sweet" trend but still delivers a flavor that doesn't overpower the pork.

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 cups Big Bob Gibson Championship red sauce (available at retail outlets)
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup Big Bob Gibson Habanero red sauce
2 tablespoons Blackberry Jam

Steps:

  • Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and blend well. Make at least 24 hours prior to usage for best flavor. Store the sauce in a tightly covered jar for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
