How to Make Coffee Molasses Marinade
- In a non-reactive saucepan, combine 1 cup strong brewed coffee, 1/2 cup molasses, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and let the marinade cool completely before using. Refrigerate until ready to use; the flavors will deepen overnight.
- Generously marinate your chosen protein (chicken, spareribs, pork) for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Turn occasionally.
- Once marinated, grill, bake, or pan-fry your protein as desired. Use remaining marinade to baste during cooking for extra flavor and glaze.
