Description

This vibrant Florida-style barbecue sauce blends the tang of ketchup and mustard with the rich sweetness of dark brown sugar. Brightened by fresh orange, pineapple, and mango juices, it offers a unique tropical twist on traditional BBQ flavors. The sauce simmers gently to meld ingredients, resulting in a glossy, thick consistency perfect for glazing grilled meats or dipping fried foods. Its balanced sweet-and-sour profile makes it an excellent choice for summer cookouts, chicken wings, or pork ribs. Simple to prepare with pantry staples and fresh juices, this recipe delivers restaurant-quality flavor at home.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, black pepper, onion juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, and mango juice in a large non-metal bowl.
  2. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the brown sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Pour the liquid mixture into a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or kettle.
  4. In a small separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of cold water to create a smooth slurry.
  5. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce in the pot to prevent lumps.
  6. Cook the sauce over low heat, stirring frequently, for 25-30 minutes until it thickens to a glossy consistency.
  7. If the sauce remains too thin, mix additional cornstarch with water and stir in gradually until desired thickness is reached.
  8. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before transferring to squeeze bottles or storage containers.
