Beer BBQ Sauce

I got new crockpots (yes, plural - 2 of those cool new hookup things) for Christmas and we were feeling some pulled pork.

Out of BBQ sauce, but with a bottle of beer that we had tried but weren't fans of, I searched for a recipe to make BBQ sauce out of this bottle. I came across this recipe that seemed easy enough to whip up quickly.

I didn't let it thicken very long, as I was planning on putting it in the crockpot with a pork shoulder on low heat for few hours, but it was still watery when the pork was done -- but very delicious!

ingredients

2C ketchup

3 tbs chili powder

1.5C beer (I used Shipyard Smashed Blueberry)

1 tbs paprika

1 tbs garlic powder

1 tbs smoked paprika

2 tbs yellow mustard

½ tsp cayenne pepper

3 tbs brown sugar

2 tbs molasses

2 tbs apple cider vinegar

directions

1. Whisk all ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium heat.
2. Bring sauce to a slow boil.
3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
4. Simmer longer if sauce has not reached desired thickness.
5. Enjoy!
