How to Make Chef Erin Finegan's Cherry Cola Barbecue Sauce
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and stir for 1 minute.
- Deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup grenadine. Quickly stir in 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup cherry jam, 1 cup cherry cola, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer uncovered for 45-55 minutes, or until reduced to about 4 cups, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon sriracha (or more, to taste).
- Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add more hot sauce, if desired.
- Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
- Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy on ribs, chicken, pork, or anything you grill!
