Today we’re preparing a homemade Rum BBQ Sauce. The sauce features nice a touch of heat courtesy of jalapenos and chili paste, savory notes from teriyaki and garlic, and sweetness from basil and fresh orange juice. This is all brought together using a base of brown sugar reduced in rum.
The end result is a delicious, decadently thick, sweet and spicy sauce that’s perfect on all kinds of grilled meats, from barbecued steaks to grilled chicken thighs, even French fries and onion rings are a great match.
