Description
This rich and deep-flavored BBQ sauce delivers the smoky, oak-infused essence of a classic bourbon sauce without the use of any alcohol. Using premium non-alcoholic bourbon extract and a blend of molasses and smoked spices, this sauce provides a professional, sticky glaze perfect for grilled vegetables, seitan, or any plant-based蛋白质. The reduction process ensures a perfect, glossy coating that makes your home-cooked meals feel like a gourmet backyard barbecue experience.
Ingredients
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tbsp non-alcoholic bourbon extract
1 tsp liquid smoke
1 tbsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp molasses
Instructions
Whisk the tomato paste and apple cider vinegar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until smooth.
Add the dark brown sugar and molasses to the mixture, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Stir in the smoked paprika and liquid smoke to establish the base flavor profile.
Simmer the sauce gently for 15 minutes while whisking occasionally to thicken the consistency.
Whisk in the non-alcoholic bourbon extract during the final heat stage to retain the aromatic profile.
Cool the sauce completely before storing it in an airtight glass container.
Notes
Apply the sauce during the last 5-10 minutes of grilling to prevent the sugars from burning. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
