Schaffer's BBQ Sauce recipe

midnight · 03-24-2019, 05:57 PM

Some of you may remember that I had created and sold my own sauces and spices before opening my catering business and restaurant. I had the pleasure of trading some sauce and spices with a few of you way back during the first few trade rounds from what seems ages ago. I haven't been in that business now for many years and I thought I would share my recipes if anyone is looking for an easy homemade sauce that can be easily customized to your tastes. I did 3 flavors of sauces: Sweet & Smokey, Whiskey Hot, and Smack Me Down Hot. They all started with the same base recipe.

SWEET & SMOKEY

1- Jar 12 oz chili sauce ( I use Heinz)
1-Can 16 oz Jellied Cranberry Sauce
1- Can 15 oz tomato sauce
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp dark molasses

1/2 Tbsp + 1 Tsp liquid smoke ( yea I know, nobody likes fake smoke.)
1/2 Tsp Cayane pepper

Put first three ingredients in a large pot over medium heat. cook and stir until all chunks of the jellied cranberry have melted into the other liquids. add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Let cool and put in a jar and refrigerate or can it for later use.

WHISKEY HOT

1- Jar 12 oz chili sauce ( I use Heinz)
1-Can 16 oz Jellied Cranberry Sauce
1- Can 15 oz tomato sauce
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp dark molasses
1/2 TBSP Cayane pepper
1/4 Cup Jim Beam whiskey ( use Apple flavored JB for a nice change)

Follow directions from Sweet & Smokey sauce.

SMACK ME DOWN HOT

1- Jar 12 oz chili sauce ( I use Heinz)
1-Can 16 oz Jellied Cranberry Sauce
1- Can 15 oz tomato sauce
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp dark molasses
1 1/2 TBSP Cayane pepper
1 1/2 TBSP Habenero pepper powder

Follow directions under Sweet & Smokey sauce.
This one will be hot but not so hot that you cant taste anything else.

I hope some of you try these out and enjoy them as much as my customers did. A good recipe should always be passed on to friends!
