Back to TopI live in the Pacific NW, and it's that time of year when cherries are very tasty and at a super good price. I bought a few pounds of red cherries and wanted to try a recipe with some since I had so many. I found this one, and it was awesome! I have never made my own BBQ sauce before, and this was super easy and pretty quick. I did make a few adjustments though: Instead of Molasses, I used the 2 tablespoons of honey Since I had the fresh cherries, I used about 3/4 cup of those, in place of the preserves Lastly, I added about a 1/2 teaspoon of habanero flake (I find them dried and grind them myself) because I like spicy-sweet things.

最好的酱食谱我掺假!: -)首先,because I hate ketchup, I used tomato sauce and added the appropriate spices to get the smokey barbecue flavor from scratch. Then added 1 table spoon of cocoa powder, and a 1/4 cup of rum. I replaced the cherry juice with preserves (1/2 cup). Then being the purest I am I smoked my rubbed ribs for 3 hrs and basted with sauce for the last hour. This has become my go to sauce for ribs and chicken.

This sauce went really well with "Best-Ever Barbecue Ribs". (Also on Epicurious). I added 100ml of the cherry syrup from the can to soften the chipotle heat. Simply a winner giving a deep, rich and well-rounded flavour. Delicious! I rubbed the ribs with salt, then oven baked the ribs in a sealed aluminium-foil bag for 2.5 hours. Then I grilled them on the barbecue, repeatedly glazing with the sauce and turning over for maybe 15 minutes. Delicious!

Fabulous, with complex flavor. This is delicious and tastes fresh, unlike any store-bought sauce I have tried. Used 2 peppers, and it wasn't excessively spicy.

Yup, this is a great BBQ Sauce. I substituted homemade Concord Grape Jam for the Cherry Preserves and I used coffee instead of lemon juice. Yumster.

BBQ is awesome. I don't like this cut of meat as it takes forever to actually get the ribs tender on the grill. Took 3+hrs for my ribs to get tender enough and I put water in the aluminum pan so they wouldn't get dried out. Flavor was great but I might try this on a regular cut of ribs or even a brisket.

Fantastic recipe as is. Used one chipotle and it was just the right amount of heat. This recipe also works as a base for experimenting with other flavors. Substitute 1/2 cup of blueberry preserves (or another fruit) for the cherry or use a different type of chili (jalapeno or habanero) in place of the chipotle.

Very good sauce. IT definetly has a distinct flavor. It was a split vote in this house. I will make it again. One chipolte was perfect, just enough of a kick. Would hold back on either the lemon zest or juice. Not sure which one. Didn't even have to use salt or pepper. Very easy to make.

Spectacular! I modified the recipe a tad (check it out with my slow cooking instructions at www.carolinescravings.com) by adding some vanilla and using tomato sauce instead of ketchup. The creators of this recipe are genius! I used this sauce with slow cooked ribs and they vanished into the bellies of very happy, very satisfied people in minutes!

I'm usually fairly picky about barbecue sauces and I like mine on the spicier side. When a friend recently gave me some homemade cherry preserves, I immediately knew I wanted to combine them with chipotles to make some kind of sauce for pork. Wouldn't you know, the planets aligned and I found this recipe in the issue of Bon Appetit sitting on my kitchen island. Made it almost as written, using 2 large chipotles (plus the TBS. adobo) and only one tablespoon of brown sugar. Paired with a grilled pork tenderloin (and then chicken, one week later!). This is my go-to BBQ sauce now. Fabulous!

Should be bottled indeed! But then again, simple and a pleasure to make. I made the dinosaur bones with this and realized that I just don't like beef ribs but this sauce is a keeper. Can't wait to slather it on some baby backs this weekend!

Excellent sauce! 1 can of chipotle was plenty enough spice of us. Did not have onion powder, substituted it with a finely minced shallot. Used it on bbq chicken. This should be bottled and sold in stores!

Made this for a 4th of July BBQ. It was amazing. I used 2 chipotles and thought it could have handled more. Everyone loved it.
