COCA COLA BARBECUE SAUCE

This sweet spicy Coca Cola barbecue sauce has a unique background flavor from reducing the cola during the sauce’s slow simmer; especially delicious on ribs

Course: BBQ/Grilling

Cuisine: North American, Southern Inspired

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves minced garlic
1 small red onion minced
¼ cup honey
1 cup ketchup
2¼ cups coca cola NOT diet
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 to 3 tsp Sriracha sauce to taste
1 tsp dry thyme
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil until softened but not browned.
Add the remaining ingredients and simmer very slowly for up to an hour until the sauce thickens. Stir often.The sauce will thicken as it cools so reduce it to a consistency a little more watery than ketchup.
