~Spicy Coca Cola Buba-Cue Sauce~

[Guest]

WHAT Coke?

This isn't quite as strange as it sounds, because Coke is sweet, tart, and spicy - the flavor profile of most great barbecue sauces. Incidentally, pot roast braised in Coca-Cola is a favorite in Venezuela.

1 cup Coca Cola
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 cup A-1 Steak Sauce
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Combine all the ingredients in a heavy, non-reactive saucepan and gradually bring to a boil over medium heat.

Reduce the heat slightly to obtain a gentle simmer. Simmer the sauce until reduced by a quarter, 6 to 8 minutes +/-.

Use right away or transfer to a large jar, cover, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate. The sauce will keep for several months.

Makes 2 cups .

UF DA, Dat be sum finga lik'n goot BUBA-QUE ya!

Ed,

I use coke in a lot of things. I'm gonna have to give this one a try. Looks like it would be real good.

I have used similar recipes to marinate venison for jerky!
