How to Make Ginger Molasses Bbq Sauce

  1. In a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan, whisk together the molasses, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the liquid smoke for added depth of flavor.
  5. Transfer the sauce to a medium bowl and let it cool completely to room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld.
  6. Use generously as a basting sauce during grilling, or serve as a dipping sauce. Delicious with pork, chicken, ribs, and more!
  7. Enjoy your homemade BBQ masterpiece!
