Title: CT Based Q Sauce
Post by: ArnieM on January 24, 2010, 03:16:21 PM
I did ribs today and didn't like my in-house choices for commercial sauces.  So, I thought I'd try something new and got something of a surprise in the bargain.

Recipe:
- 3/4 cup CT
- 1/4 cup Heinz ketchup
- 2 TBSP brown sugar
- 1 1/2 TBSP honey
- 1 tsp each Worcestershire sauce and chipotle powder
- 1/2 tsp each granulated garlic, onion powder and dry mustard

Bring to a boil.  That's when the surprise happened.

The 'stuff' instantly thickened up and had a consistency akin to pudding.  I don't know what 'kicked in' to make that happen.

So, I added a TBSP of OO and then kept stirring in chicken broth until it came back to a sauce consistency; didn't have any white wine.

In the end it came out good.  My wife raved over it.  She brushed more of it onto the ribs on her plate.  The cats and I liked it too  :D

CT has flour in it...     That's what "popped" when it came to a boil.

So you can make it a thick slather by heating it up?

You could spread this stuff with a knife.

Add a little butter to the recipe above.  After thickening take off heat.  beat one egg  in at a time .   Spoon & bake     Find a way to inject pulled pork

I started working on a bbq roll recipe a couple years ago.  I wasted a 1/2 bottle of Iceman's sauce  :o .  I need to work on it again.  The rolls didn't rise, I know it was the sauce.  Need to find the right ratios and yeast amount.  I also think they might need SAF gold yeast.

That whole BBQ pate choux has me intrigued.

Like little cream puffs but filled with bbq sauce.
Maybe try to stick some pulled pork in there.

Can the sauce go in with an injector?  Kind of like a cream puff?

Thats what I was thinking. sort of pipe it in. It might need to be thickened as to not absorb into the roll.
