How to Make Barbecue Sauce 2
- In a small bowl, whisk together the seasoning mix ingredients: 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional). Set aside.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, cook 4 slices of bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside; crumble when cool.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the bacon grease in the saucepan. Cover and cook until onions are dark brown but not burned, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the prepared seasoning mix and cook for about 1 minute.
- Add 1 cup chicken stock, 1/2 cup chili sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, the zest and pulp of 1/2 orange, the zest and pulp of 1/4 lemon, 2 cloves garlic, minced, and a few dashes of Tabasco sauce (to taste). Stir well.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove orange and lemon rinds using a slotted spoon or fine-mesh sieve.
- Continue to simmer and stir for 15 minutes more, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in 2 tbsp butter until melted.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely for about 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a food processor or blender and pulse until pecans and bacon are finely chopped (about 10-15 seconds).
- Your delicious barbecue sauce is ready! Use it to barbecue chicken, pork, or ribs.
