Jack Daniels BBQ Glaze

This glaze was used at the Greater Omaha BBQ Society?s Nebraska State Championship on the spare ribs we turned in.? It is sweeter than one would expect by simply reading the ingredients.? The Jack Daniels in combination with the brown sugar makes for a sweetness one would expect from a KC style glaze yet it has an indescribable flavor.? Perhaps an easterner all tuned up on Jack could describe it, but not I.

Ingredients

  • ?? C Ketchup
  • ? C Soy Sauce ? I used Kikkoman
  • ? C Jack Daniels
  • 1 C Brown Sugar
  • 1 T Onion powder

Directions?

  • Mix all ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes or until thickened to your liking.

Side Note:? If I decide to use this glaze again I will cut back on the soy sauce a bit or change brands.? Nothing wrong w/ Kikkoman, it is just a bit too strong in my opinion.

Also, this glaze was used in conjunction with a rub that had no sugar in it.? My thought behind this was that I didn?t want to overpower the rub with too much sweetness by creating a balance between the pork, the rub and glaze.

    This is one of the most unique tasting glazes I’ve put my taste buds on. Very flavorful and incredibly addicting. I hope we use it again to turn in.
