From David Israel

Spicy tropical barbecue sauce with rum and allspice was a state contest winner. Make this quick sauce in advance. It is best if served the next day.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup rum (Bacardi Superior recommended)
  • 1/4 cup loose-packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice concentrate
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Dat'l Do-it brand hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup lite soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 rounded Tablespoon fresh-grated ginger root
  • 2 bay leaves

Preparation:

Combine rum and brown sugar in a nonreactive saucepan. Bring to boil and cook 3 to 5 minutes or until reduced by half.

Add orange juice concentrate, water, ketchup, vinegar, hot sauce, and soy sauce. Whisk in allspice, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes until reduced by half.

Remove the bay leaves and strain the sauce. Allow to cool to room temperature. Best after 12 hours.

Yield: 2-1/4 cups
