Ingredients:
- 12 oz. soda*
- 6 oz. brown sugar
- 2 oz. white distilled vinegar
- 1/4 c. red wine**
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. white pepper
- 1 oz. Liquid Smoke
- 10 oz. favorite barbecue sauce
- 5 oz. molasses
- dash Louisiana hot sauce (optional)
*any soda works; Dr. Pepper, Cherry Coke or Cheerwine are best.
**research what wine goes best with the meat you are marinading.
Directions:
Bring soda, wine, vinegar and Liquid Smoke to a boil, stirring constantly. Add barbecue sauce and molasses until completely merged with rest of liquids. Dissolve brown sugar into mixture, then add four peppers. For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce. Remove from heat and either use or cool. Store excess in refrigerator in airtight container. Yields just over 32 ounces. Works well with poultry, especially chicken.
To turn into a barbecue sauce, add pinches of cornstarch until desired consistency is reached.
